For members of Admin group, Cygwin 1.7 allows to overwrite files without write permission, but Cygwin 1.5 does not. Is this a intended change of 1.7 ? I would suggest to add a note to http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html Testcase (WinXP SP2 and 3, Cygwin 1.7.0-60): $ touch foo $ chmod a=r foo $ ls -l foo -r--r--r-- 1 franke none 0 Aug 28 11:17 foo $ cacls foo | grep FILE_WRITE_DATA $ attrib foo A C:\cygwin\tmp\foo $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=foo 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1 byte (1 B) copied, 0 s, Infinity B/s Same file, but Cygwin 1.5: $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=foo dd: opening `foo': Permission denied fhandler_base::open() calls NtCreateFile() with different 'creation_options' values: 1.5.0-25: 0x0420 = FILE_OPEN_FOR_RECOVERY|FILE_SYNCHRONOUS_IO_NONALERT 1.7.0-60: 0x4020 = FILE_OPEN_FOR_BACKUP_INTENT|FILE_SYNCHRONOUS_IO_NONALERT What is the effect of FILE_OPEN_FOR_RECOVERY ? -- Regards Christian Franke -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
