Please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> if you need to follow-up on this issue with the list. >Another problem: if I use explorer to create file to directory >it shows in Bash as: > >-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators None 0 Apr 19 22:33 New Text Document.txt* A "directory"??? >However, I am logged locally in as "pekka" into windows and command "id" >at Bash shows > >uid=1000(pekka) gid=544(Administrators)\ >groups=0(root),513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users) > >These 2 lines are from /etc/passwd: > >Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:544:(deleted):/home/Administrator:\ >/bin/bash >pekka:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:544:(deleted):/cygdrive/c/home/cygwin:/\ >bin/bash > >Why is the new file not created as owner 'pekka' and >group 'Administrators'? Check out the documentation <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-files>. There's allot of answers to allot of questions in here (not just your current one).
