No, foo is just simply foo - also, user has write permission
in foo's directory and I tried experimenting with variations
on umask (007, 777, etc).
Yes, NTFS (win2000).
Further, like the "problem with mmap and cygwin 1.1.8" post",
when I run a strace I get
"geterrno_from_win_error: windows error 5 == errno 13"
This problem is evocative of many other "Permission denied"
posts I have seen in the mail archives. I have followed
recommendations regards mkpasswd and tried to make sense
of the ntsec info. I have chmod problems as well.
Wouldn't it be nice if windoze had a /tmp equivalent where
read-write permissions were wide open? Testing for such a
problem would be much simplified. Is there a way Cygwin could
create a
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody 4096 Apr 1 12:34 tmp/
^^^^^^^^^^
as part of the install? If any of this is ridiculous, please
flame me, I am a newbie and will take any education I can get.
