I'm not sure I follow. Does this mean there are no plans to support Windows Vista and every future release of Windows by extension? Are the Cygwin devs at least aware of the serious problems with manipulating files created by Cygwin (with share attributes) inside Vista's explorer? Every file with these share attributes take 1000's of times longer to delete,move,copy because of their shared-ness-- this seems like an issue that should be looked into for a project whose primary mission is Windows interoperability. Any Vista issue with Cygwin should be considered a Cygwin issue by extension, especially serious usability issues like the above. Now for the constructive part of my post: Is the following suggestion from another thread on this issue not feasible to implement? http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg84231.html http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg84231.html Specifically, "I suggested that Cygwin changes it's attribute handling to leave out the local/None and Everyone groups completely, whenever they have no access permissions." What is the technical problem with implementing that for Vista? Does this break POSIX permissions? I would think that it's a reasonable suggestion, but I'm no expert on Cygwin. It would be nice to actually have this option looked into, and maybe come up with another plan. Cygwin will not get any easier to use for Vista and future Windows 7 users if the problem is not fixed at some point in time (I don't consider dropping UNIX/POSIX permissions with `nontsec`/`noacl` to be a "fix"). - Charles -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cygwin-Everyone-group-permissions-and-Vista-%22shared-files%22-%28*not*-shared-folders%29-tp19386749p20415332.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
