Hi, I know there has been some discussion on permissions (specifically on chmod) and network drives, but I haven't been able to make sense of it. Something has changed recently for me and I can no longer execute any chmod commands on my network drives. This is particularly troubling because cvs fails when it can't execute chmod, and my CVS root is on my network drive.
My computer is on a domain over which I have no administrative control. I also really don't need any unix-like permissions to work. Is there an easy way to turn off this functionality. I have tried setting CYGWIN to both nontsec and nosmbntsec. Although this changes the way 'ls -l' generates its output, it hasn't made a difference on how chmod works. So, is there a simple way to open up my permissions so that chmod can do all that attrib can do? If setting CYGWIN to nontsec should do that, what else can I check? Also, with nosmbntsec set by default, should I have this problem in the first place?
