Subject: Strange problem - access to directories denied
Mime-Version: 1.0

This *may* not be related to Cygwin, but it seems to be. I've 
installed two programs recently, Cygwin and an NTP daemon (which has 
been uninstalled with no change.) And I know this isn't much to go on 
- I'm hoping it sparks someone.


I have a habit of creating and deleting some commonly used temp 
directories on my system. Occasionally I will delete one (or many) of 
these directories at a DOS prompt (Win2K Pro, SP1, FAT32), but the 
directory (or just one) will not get removed. From then on, I can not 
cd to the dir (bash, sh, or cmd), nor can I open it in Explorer. 
Whenever creating or deleting these directories I only use DOS 
commands - not Cygwin. But since Cygwin was installed most recently I 
have to look at it as a potential source of the issue.


In bash, the directory looks like:

-r-xr-xr-x   1 administ None            0 Mar  6 18:24 pktemp

Strange, it is a directory, yet no 'd'. DOS reports:

03/06/2001  06:24p      <DIR>          pktemp

getfacl:

# file: pktemp
# owner: 1000 (me, "Scott", admin equiv)
# group: 513  (administrators)
user::r-x
group::r-x
other::r-x
mask::r-x

Pertinent strace info: ("rmdir pktemp" in bash as administrator)
("chmod 777 pktemp" yields similar. "chown" to administrator succeeds 
happily)

Eventually this problem will go away. I'll run one of my batch files 
a day or three later and the dir will be gone. Exactly how or why 
this happens I don't know. Rebooting does solve the problem - upon 
reboot the offending directory no longer exists.


Any hints or comments appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
