Hi List,
I've tried:
  uwin-base.2008-03-24.win32.i386.exe
  uwin-base.2007-12-11.win32.i386.exe

Windows XP, Service Pack 3.  Uwin installed via the GUI-Installer,
Uwin master service stopped via control panel (we don't need any of
the services).

The 'rm' command does not remove files on a network share.
It does work on a local drive.

A network share is mapped to drive letter L:/ from a Samba Linux
Server, the file in question is a symbolic link on the file server
pointing to a read-only file owned by a revision control system:

    linux% ls -l sixx_build_info 
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 ralf aegis 64 Jul 28 10:45 sixx_build_info -> 
/some/path/sixx_build_info

    linux% ls -lL sixx_build_info 
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 aegis aegis 18 Jul 16 16:53 sixx_build_info

Trying to remove this file on the windows machine fails silently
without any error indication:

    $ ls -l  sixx_build_info
    -rw-rw-r--  1 263644   523818         18 Jul 16 16:53 sixx_build_info
    $ rm sixx_build_info
    override protection ``not owner'' for sixx_build_info? y
    $ ls -l  sixx_build_info
    -rw-rw-r--  1 263644   523818         18 Jul 16 16:53 sixx_build_info

The file is still there.  Answering 'yes' instead of 'y' gives the
same result.

Trying 'rm -f' indicates no error, but the file is still there:
    $ rm -f sixx_build_info
    $ echo $?
    0
    $ ls -l  sixx_build_info
    -rw-rw-r--  1 263644   523818         18 Jul 16 16:53 sixx_build_info

If I create a new file on the share, I also can not remove it:
    $ touch foo
    $ ls -l foo
    -rw-rw-r--  1 263649   523818          0 Jul 28 15:00 foo
    $ rm foo
    $ ls -l foo
    $ echo $?
    0
    $ ls -l foo
    -rw-rw-r--  1 263649   523818          0 Jul 28 15:00 foo

Local disk:
    $ touch foo
    $ ls -l foo
    -rw-rw-r--  1 ralf     Kein            0 Jul 28 15:17 foo
    $ rm foo
    $ ls -l foo
    ls: foo: not found

(ic,text,grpid,suid,rw)
    /D/Programme/Microsoft SDK on /platformsdk type NTFS (ic,text,grpid,suid,rw)

    There is no /etc/passwd file (should there be one?)


Cygwin has no problems removing any of those network files on the
windows machine, neither has cmd.com.

Any hints what could be the problem?  Any further info required?

Thanks
