You may find a review of the code for unlink() (remove() calls this) call in the Cygwin DLL interesting. You might find it even more interesting to build your own debug version of cygwin1.dll and stop in this function. ;-) Still sounds allot like you're having a permission problem on delete. Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: dmay@tvi.edu Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 16:44:06 -0600 (MDT) To: cygwin@cygwin.com, dmay@tvi.edu Subject: Re: Problem with database engine on Cygwin On Monday, Apr 7, 2003 I posted a query re. an issue I am having using a database engine I wrote with Cygwin. Through the use of Asserts() and liberal printf()s I have traced the problem down to a single line of code. Basically, the code does the following: int fd; fd = creat ("SSNumberIndex.inx", 0644); This is failing with a "permission denied" system error. In terms of the order of how things are done, the file SSNumberIndex.inx is unattached from an old table, deleted, and then recreated. It is during this recreation that I am having the problem. There is not a file with this name in the current directory (it is deleted through a remove() system call, and the system indicates that the removal is successful). I have tried the following CYGWIN environment variables: set CYGWIN=nontsec tty glob set CYGWIN=nontsec tty glob binmode set CYGWIN=ntsec tty glob binmode set CYGWIN=ntsec tty glob All to no avail. I have read the sections on file permissions and text and binary modes in Chapter 3 of the User Guide. I have skimmed through the FAQ. I don't see anything that resembles this issue. My apologies if I just missed it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- ================================= David May Senior UNIX System Administrator Albuquerque TVI 505-224-3015 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
