Hi. From cygwin shell I'm able to read and write files even though my Windows user has no permission for it. I tried `chmod` and to deny everything for Everyone in the Windows dialog, but it didn't help. How is it possible?
$ id uid=48466(basin) gid=545(Users) groups=545(Users),0(root),544(Administrators) $ touch aaa.txt $ chmod 400 aaa.txt $ ls -l aaa.txt -r--------+ 1 Administrators ???????? 0 Jul 30 19:23 aaa.txt $ echo aaa >>aaa.txt $ cat aaa.txt aaa My id is not 0, but maybe cygwin still behaves as if I was root. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
