If not, where would that operation be performed? It looks like chmod doesn't cut it: markm@fatboy ~ $ ls -ld $TEMP d---rwx---+ 7 Administ SYSTEM 16384 Apr 5 00:10 /cygdrive/c/WINNT/TEMP markm@fatboy ~ $ chmod +rw $TEMP markm@fatboy ~ $ ls -ld $TEMP drw-rwxr--+ 7 Administ SYSTEM 16384 Apr 5 00:10 /cygdrive/c/WINNT/TEMP markm@fatboy ~ $ perldoc perldoc Error in tempfile() using /XXXXXXXXXX: Parent directory (/) is not writable at /usr/bin/perldoc line 564 markm@fatboy ~ $ Notice that global rw permissions don't stick. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Collins [mailto:rbcollins@cygwin.com] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 11:51 PM To: Mark Moore Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: RE: 1.3.22: TMPDIR Initialization On Sat, 2003-04-05 at 17:43, Mark Moore wrote: > Christopher, > > I've read the http://cygwin.com/lists.html.

What you posted has nothing to do with setup.exe.
