I am changing the subject here because this problem is cygwin/xemacs-specific only, so it has nothing to do with smb permissions because I can touch and edit the same file with nano and save properly. Same with vi. It's entirely xemacs.
I've attached my config, per request. -----Original Message----- From: Igor Peshansky [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 7:20 PM To: Joseph Koenig Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Passing domain credentials for a non-domain machine (similar to mapping drives through the Windows shell) On Wed, 5 Sep 2007, Joseph Koenig wrote: > I have a desktop that I use to access a share with domain credentials > despite not being on domain.

You want to add "smbntsec" to your CYGWIN environment variable.

You'll also want to use "mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd" to get domain user information into it, and possibly "mkgroup -d >> /etc/group" (notice the double ">>" to append). > (I searched the archives for this....I'm sure it's been answered but I > couldn't find anything - I apologize....)
