So it sounds like some of the games that MS is playing with the Windows home directory also affects permission settings when the POSIX permissions are off (or maybe it affects it either way). I recall Corinna mentioning some time ago that the automatic "sharing" of files that's turned on in the user's home directory can really slow things down. She may have mentioned other side-effects I don't recall. The fact that things look different outside of '/c/Users/me' than inside makes me suspect other "funny business". Currently, the recommendation is to _not_ use the Windows home directory as the Cygwin home to avoid these issues. It seems you are already doing this but obviously things in the Windows home directory will still suffer from some troubles here. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
