Yes, the good reason is explained in the FAQ entry that both David Starks-Browning and I directed you to. You'd probably find it useful to read. If there is something about the content that you feel needs addressing, please propose alternate/additional prose. >I was simply saying it does not work as is, out of the box, as it works on Unix. What is >not correct about this statment? Nothing. This qualified statement, while providing no additional help to folks with the same question who search the email archives for answers, is correct. Your initial one, which simply stated that chmod doesn't work, was completely unqualified and totally erroneous. I wanted to pick up on this error to help avoid confusion for others who might stumble across your post. I think I've achieved that goal.
