Hi, Here is a possible solution. When I start bash through the shortcut, the CYGWIN variable is not exported from W2K to bash:
>From cmd.exe: C:\>echo %CYGWIN% export ntsec ntea C:\>\cygwin\cygwin.bat je734613:jme> echo $CYGWIN je734613:jme> In that case, the chmod & chown do not work. If I set CYGWIN explicitely in bash as: export CYGWIN="ntsec ntea export" then chmod & chown work! My 2 cents, Jean-Marc __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
