Hi! I can't change permissions using chmod. Although I am the owner of the directory, see below. What am I doing wrong? Can anybody point me to any info about inheritance of permissions with respect to Cygwin? To my surprise I found nothing about that at Cygwin website. My account is member of Administrators group. In /etc/passwd file my primary group is also set to Administrators (544). NT4.0 SP6a, no domain, Cygwin 1.3.3, CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec, all mounts mounted binary and system. Thanks Pavel Kudrna. kudrna@MYCOMP / $ chmod ugo=rwx /home chmod: changing permissions of `/home': Permission denied kudrna@MYCOMP / $ ls -la total 866 drwxrwxrwx 12 kudrna Administ 4096 Sep 14 10:46 . drwxrwxrwx 12 kudrna Administ 4096 Sep 14 10:46 .. d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Jul 25 18:02 RECYCLER drwx------ 4 kudrna Administ 4096 Jun 18 15:56 TclTk drwxrwxrwx 3 kudrna Administ 114688 Sep 13 10:53 bin -rwxrwxrwx 1 kudrna Administ 75 Jul 27 18:48 cygwin.bat -rwxrwxrwx 1 kudrna Administ 766 Sep 13 10:53 cygwin.ico d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Sep 14 12:45 etc d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Sep 13 13:20 home d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Sep 13 10:53 lib -rwxrwxrwx 1 kudrna Administ 291 Oct 27 2000 mnt d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Jul 24 18:08 sbin -rwxrwxrwx 1 kudrna Administ 6857 Sep 13 10:53 setup.log -rwxrwxrwx 1 kudrna Administ 749172 Sep 13 10:53 setup.log.full d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Aug 29 17:56 tmp d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Sep 13 10:51 usr d--------- 0 kudrna Administ 0 Sep 2 14:31 var kudrna@MYCOMP / $ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
