Subject:	cp -p gives error message
Date:	Fri, 4 Jun 2004 14:20:22 -0400
MIME-Version:	1.0
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

$ cp -p foo /h/Home/
/bin/cp: setting permissions for `/h/Home/DW/foo': Permission denied

This happens when copying to a network drive but not to /c .

The datestamps get copied over.
execute permission (as seen by the "*" which trails the file name when doing
ls -F) does not get copied over.

I do not remember having this error message before upgrading to cygwin
1.5.10.  Fileutils is 4.1-2.

Since all I care about is the datestamp, I'm not asking for this to be fixed
(though it would be nice), but it might affect other people or be indicative
of other problems.
