Hi, list, I saw a few comments roughly on this topic when I searched the archives, but nothing 100% definite, so I thought I'd ask... Are there any plans of making Cygwin more compatible with Interix (and especially the SFU/SUA NFS clients)?
Specifically, I would be interested in two things: 1) Compatibility with Interix symlinks (especially on NFS where they are *real* symlinks!) 2) Usage of real NFS permissions; particularly since Cygwin creates everything with a+x on NFS volumes ATM (and can't correctly affect the permissions at all). I'm not asking for any time frame, just... has it been given any thought? (I don't *think* this is a double-post, but apologies if it is; this is about my third time trying to send... still trying to figure out the headers in Thunderbird! :-)) TIA -- Matthew "Ethics?
