Actually, this means very little. There are differences in the way cygwin and NT(native) deal with SMB shares. Please show: ls -ld /g/xapp/users/uscpw084/cvsroot ls -ld /g/xapp/users/uscpw084/cvsroot/CVSROOT ls -ld /g/xapp/users/uscpw084/cvsroot/CVSROOT/ > The repository is on a HPUX 11 box Oh, now hold on just a minute. So this isn't windows peer-to-peer file sharing. Now, you've thrown SAMBA into the mix, which is ALSO different from NT(native) SMB, w.r.t. file permissions. It looks to me as if your problem isn't CVS, but a misunderstanding as to how permissions on samba shares are dealt with from cygwin clients. Please search the archives..."samba" "permissions" --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
