Greetings all , I have been attempting to setup Cygwin to access my Samba Network shares without a great deal of success.
Here is what I have done so far ... 1. The samba share is mapped to network Drive K: 2. Cygwin HOMEDRIVE is set to K: 3. Cygwin HOMEPATH is set to \ 4. my Linux samba user has been entered into the Gygwin passwd file as shown below <<Windows domain user>> dazza:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11202:10512: Daren Grant,U-WINDOWSDOMAIN\dazza, S-1-5-21-283096454-457325280-1777090905-1208: //banana/dareng:/bin/bash <<Windows domain user>> dazza:x:11202:10512:dazza,U-SAMBADOMAIN\\dazza, S-1-5-21-1481719354-1400000387-4000000475-3300: //banana/dareng:/bin/bash This correctly reports the uid for files that i own My default group on the linux side has been entered into the group file under cygwin so that the group ids are picked up correctly on ls <<WINDOWS GROUP>> Domain Users:S-1-5-21-200030454-450000000-1000000905-513:10512: <<Linux Group>> games:S-1-5-21-1481700004-140000007-4032000005-1041:10512: Everything appears to be setup perfectly , if i ls -ln my homespace i get the following . drwxr-xr-x+ 4 11202 10512 0 Apr 19 17:13 tmp drwxr-xr-x+ 3 11202 10512 0 Aug 27 2002 tmpDoc drwxr-xr-x+ 2 11202 10512 0 Feb 27 2003 tmpIcons drwxr-x---+ 4 11202 10512 0 Jan 17 2002 unix_source -rw------- 1 11202 10512 11387 Feb 23 16:21 weir.gPJ drwxr-x---+ 3 11202 10512 0 Jun 27 2003 win_regression drwxr-x---+ 3 11202 10512 0 Jun 19 2003 win_src drwxr-xr--+ 10 11202 10512 0 Feb 24 2003 workspace drwxr-xr-x+ 2 11202 10512 0 Apr 22 13:51 zebb and id reveals my user as uid=11202(dazza) gid=10512(Domain Users) groups=0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users),10513(Domain Users) However i cannot ls in a directory that has no global read attribute , I cannot read a file that is set to user read ie weir.gPJ above I can access , and read these files via windows explorer , but Cygwin fails to allow me access ...
