Sammartino" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed I'm experiencing the exact same problem here as reported earlier: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg00702.html I have tried the solution proposed in Chris Metcalf's FAQ (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg01021.html) but that did not do the trick. I can read the files ok, but there is still the problem of writing as described in the post above: cygwin(MK329PC)~$ ls -l foo -rwxrwx--- 1 mk329 administ 81 Jun 17 19:21 foo cygwin(MK329PC)~$ cp foo /cygdrive/z cp: cannot create regular file `/cygdrive/z/foo': Permission denied cygwin(MK329PC)~$ ls -l /cygdrive/z/foo -rwx------ 1 mk329 divb 0 Jun 17 19:21 /cygdrive/z/foo I cannot change the settings on the Samba server (and don't know what's in smb.conf - probably "security = user") because I'm in a big institution and do not have access to it, and don't think the administrators would like the idea of fudging with a working system. But why would that be neccessary anyway? If Windows can do it with no problems, so should Cygwin with appropriate passwd and group files? Hope that someone can provide a definite answer, Regards, Milos -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
