Please have a look at the following transscript: $ ls -l x1.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 fischron mkgroup-l-d 104 May 5 15:54 x1.pl $ chmod 0777 x1.pl $ ls -l x1.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 fischron mkgroup-l-d 104 May 5 15:54 x1.pl $ chmod +x x1.pl $ ls -l x1.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 fischron mkgroup-l-d 104 May 5 15:54 x1.pl
The same happens when I try other access right combinations. Somehow, the files get access rights when created (typically 0644, sometimes 0755), but I have no way to change the access right afterwards. This happens only on files stored on my networked drive. In the Cygwin FAQ, I found the following hint: "The most common case is that your /etc/passwd or /etc/group files are not properly set up. If ls -l shows a group of mkpasswd or mkgroup, you need to run one or both of those commands." Hmmm... my group is not listed as mkgroup, but as the pretty similar mkgroup-l-d. OTOH, chmod works fine on the non-networked drive (/cygdrive/c), and there ls -l shows mkgroup-l-d as well. Also, neither in the man page of mkgroup, nor on the cygwin FAQ, I could find a hint on how to use the "mkgroup" program to remedy my situation - if this really is the reason for the problem at all. What could I do to get it working?
