There seems to be some problems in the (cygwin emulation) of ownership and group membership. I'm running inetd (and cygwin-1.1.1) on Windows NT. When I telnet or rsh in as a non-Administrators group user (the user is a member of Power Users, but not Administrators) and run id, I get uid=1003(jadu) gid=513(Administrators) My system/global CYGWIN is set to tty ntea ntsec, although that doesn't show up in rsh sessions. One other discrepancy concerns file ownership. Logged in as jadu, ls -alF ~jadu shows bash-2.03$ id uid=1003(jadu) gid=513(Administrators) bash-2.03$ total 7 drwxr-xr-x 2 jadu Administ 4096 May 19 07:49 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 jadu Administ 4096 May 19 07:42 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 jadu Administ 366 May 19 07:34 .bash_history -rwxr-xr-x 1 jadu Administ 205 May 19 07:49 .bashrc* -rw-r--r-- 1 jadu Administ 1742 May 18 08:40 login.README If I'm logged in as Administrator, I get bash-2.03$ id uid=500(administrator) gid=513(Administrators) bash-2.03$ ls -alF total 7 drwxr-xr-x 2 administ Administ 4096 May 19 07:49 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 administ Administ 4096 May 19 07:42 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 administ Administ 447 May 19 07:53 .bash_history -rwxr-xr-x 1 administ Administ 205 May 19 07:49 .bashrc* -rw-r--r-- 1 administ Administ 1742 May 18 08:40 login.README It appears the file owner follows whoever is logged in. Yet I (as Administrator) can't write to ~jadu: bash-2.03$ cd ~jadu bash-2.03$ touch junk touch: junk: Permission denied -- Jim Dumser dumser@bigfoot.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
