not sure how to check the Windows ACLs on the files. i'm running Windows 2000 and cygwin is installed on a FAT32 partition. using getfacl, it looks as though i have write permission on the directory and the installed.db files. the DOS "cacls" command doesnt print out anything when i try and examine the acls assigned to these files. is there another way to check ACLs? or is the fact that im running from a FAT32 partition causing some of these problems? --tim -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
