That adds additional twists... I have seen Samba configured (both accidentally and intentionally) to report "full control" when queried for what permissions a user has and still have everything locked as read only for most users. Windows can now do this from AD Group Policies as well, but is rarely configured to do so. > Although at first glance it seems the Cygwin user I was using looks like it has the correct permissions, > something was obviously missing or incorrectly mapped, running as the network admin worked fine. > I suspect there might be some underlying issue on the Linux file system level or it may be a Samba permissions mapping issue > for the Cygwin user. > > UAC should not have been an issue, the account was in the local admins group, > but having the mapping be remembered would make sense anyhow, I agree. > (And running as the actual local administrator account may perhaps make some minute difference that the group membership > doesn't bring.) Actually, unless the cygwin user was a domain account rather than a local machine account, I would be surprised if it was not receiving the ghost "full control" I mentioned above. >> > The symptoms begin with an error saying something like “Unable to extract >> /etc/ -- the file is in use.” plus a suspicion about a corrupt package. >> > Skipping past this error gives an almost identical error but about >> > “/etc/postinstall”, and skipping that gives another about >> “/etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh”. >> >> When was the most recent filesystems check on the host with the actual >> files?
