Hi, I am trying this route after failing to find a relevant topic on web or with local gurus.
Problem in short: ================= I have a folder on a unix server mapped as a windows drive z(y is another drive from another unix server). I am able to browse through the folders from windows explorer and read/write there. I am running into an issue when I access those mapped network drives from cygwin. When I try I get the following error message " [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive $ ls -l total 4 drwxrwxr-x+ 30 ???????? SYSTEM 0 Jun 3 09:35 c drwxr-xr-x 37 uday_p Domain Users 1536 Mar 12 23:34 y drwxr-xr-x 36 uday_p Domain Users 1536 May 31 23:58 z [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive $ ls y ls: reading directory y: Permission denied [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive $ ls z ls: reading directory z: Function not implemented [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive $ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) y: on /cygdrive/y type system (binmode,noumount) z: on /cygdrive/z type system (binmode,noumount) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ " My windows domain is MYDOM I did do the mkgroup -l -d MYDOM > /etc/group and mkpasswd -u uday_p -p /home -d MYDOM >> /etc/passwd I am able to navigate the directories though which means that I do not have the group/user id set properly from cygwin. I do not know how to fix that. The id on UNIX server is " unix2 /users/udayb > id -a uid=1066(uday_p) gid=2(eng) groups=2(eng),15(crypto) " and on cygwin it is " [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive $ id -a uid=264583(uday_p) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=544(Administrators),545(Users), 160957(ArchBaseDataGroup),10513(Domain Users),13521(eng),13522(Engineering),29064(LEX.MFG-SUITE.M) [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive $ " I am a developer on unix environment and I have a project where my code from unix server has to be compiled from windows (intel ixp stuff). Will appreciate any help in getting the access issue fixed. I am guessing that it is because of the difference in the gid between unix and on cygwin. I did manually modify the entry on cygwin to mirror the value in unix, but that did not help.
