Of course, completely different, based on arbitrarily long ACLs and not POSIX rwxrwxrwx bits. Mounting a NTFS volume on a Unix machine means these ACLs must then be somehow "translated" to give the impression of POSIX protection bits, and as one might imagine, such an emulation seldom works 100%, especially not if the code expects to be able to change the protection bits of some file and see a result as specified by POSIX semantics. --tml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
