I tried to duplicate here but was unable to do so. I created a folder named test and tried setting different permissions on it. It worked as expected. Here are the test cases I did and as you can see I was pretty thorough although I didn't try every possible combination. All test cases were done on Windows XP Pro SP2. Sorry I don't have a Windows 2003 box to make an absolute verification. This might be a bug with Windows 2003 if someone else can reproduce. As far as I can tell though the ACLs are being set correctly. The security tab in Windows XP Pro reflected special permissions correctly. Reading involved using the command 'type' from the cmd.exe and 'cat' from cygwin. Writing involved using 'echo' in both cmd.exe and cygwin. I used 'dir' in cmd.exe and 'ls' in cygwin for directory listing checks. chmod 0000 no permission (inaccessable even to owner / only chmod possible) (worked in both cygwin and cmd) chmod 0111 execute permission -- can change to folder but no directory listing (worked in both cygwin and cmd) chmod 0222 write permission (worked in both cygwin and cmd) chmod 0333 write/execute permission -- no directory listing (worked in both cygwin and cmd) chmod 0444 read permission -- cannot change to directory for listing but can get one directly (worked in both cygwin and cmd) chmod 0555 read/execute permission (worked in both cygwin and cmd) chmod 0666 read/write permission -- cannot change to directory for listing but can get one directly (worked in both cygwin and cmd) chmod 0777 full access (worked in both cygwin and cmd) And of course all behavior was verified correct against both netbsd an centos linux distro. Windows behavior equivelent "Permission denied" in linux is equal to "Access denied" in windows when trying to do a change to a directory, read, or write a file. "Permission denied" in linux is equal to "File Not Found" in windows when trying to do a directory listing. - -- Robert Pendell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thawte Web of Trust Notary CAcert Assurer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEXM5ENqnRaBCOmrYRAilLAJ91RqRtW6XQBEGXBwL/OgMiwif+7wCgp2nq j08qVZOUNt1YaHJUdKT+cHs= =qXiT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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/
