I've just gone back and reread the thread and I've come to the conclusion that I was overly strong in my condemnation of this being "off-topic". The conclusion that this was caused by the use of chmod/ntsec and, consequently, was a Windows NT security problem, did move this into off-topic realms. But, there is no reason why this should have been understandable to the original poster until it was clarified. However, it seems obvious to me now that, if a java program is having problems with Windows NT security, the correct course of action is to contact whomever provided you with the java implementation. So, I was wrong in choosing such strong adjectives in pronouncing this discussion off-topic although I think it is still clear that this is not a cygwin problem. However, if people want to discuss how cygwin handles things like 'chmod 0' and attempt to resolve how a native windows app deals with this here, feel free. I'll just shut up now. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
