Hi folks,
by the way, I saw this behaviour of chmod on my WinNT/Cygnus B20 also =
and it still drives me crazy. I tried to make a shell-script executable =
and though chmod did not complain, the mode did not change at all.

I recently read that the EADATA.SF-file is used by the Cygnus-Tools to =
store the stuff associated with a file. Could it be, that this file is =
normally not writable for a non-Admin user and therefore the attributes =
do not change ?? (Couldn't try it out at my computer yet, so just an =
idea ... :-)

Bye,
Holger Szillat
