Hello, I read: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.chmod and: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html,
and still do not understand... I am unable to remove the read right for world (and group) from .netrc. ~> export CYGWIN=ntsec ~> chmod -c o-r .netrc mode of `.netrc' changed to 0640 (rw-r-----) ~> ls -la .netrc -rw-r--r-- 1 emagiro Domain Users 54 Feb 21 11:33 .netrc ~> getfacl .netrc # file: .netrc # owner: emagiro # group: Domain Users user::rw- group::r-- other:r-- mask:rwx ~> I installed cygwin 'for myself' as I did not have admin rights on this box (which I got later). I built the /etc/passwd and /etc/group with the utilities and the -l -d options (takes hours on my network...) mkpasswd is in fact still pending, so that I use a temp version of it, in which I had a 'local' entry for myself: etc> grep emagiro passwd* passwd:emagiro:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:654351:10513:emagiro,U-EEMEA\emagiro,S-1-5-21-507921405-1897051121-725345543-644351:/cygdrive/h:/bin/bash etc> id uid=654351(emagiro) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),552997(DATA-G-AdvancedCopper-R) ... [I truncated] I ran cygcheck -c and -s and could not see anything wrong. What can I do to fix my environement, or even to diagnose what's wrong? strace chmod...?
