I'll leave the correct names this time. Yes, I actually did a recursive chown on everything below /, and it still doesn't work. I can't really see the permissions on /usr/bin since it is strangely mounted separately from the other directories in /usr: senior@romulus /usr $ ls -la total 0 drwxrwx---+ 16 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:31 . drwxrwx---+ 9 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:32 .. drwxrwx---+ 8 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:31 X11R6 drwxrwx---+ 4 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:28 doc drwxrwx---+ 2 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:28 etc drwxrwx---+ 3 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:28 i686-pc-cygwin drwxrwx---+ 2 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:31 i686-pc-mingw32 drwxrwx---+ 11 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:31 include drwxrwx---+ 2 senior Users 0 Jan 10 07:40 info drwxrwx---+ 6 senior Users 0 Jan 10 07:43 local drwxrwx---+ 5 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:29 man drwxrwx---+ 3 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:29 sbin drwxrwx---+ 19 senior Users 0 Jan 10 07:39 share drwxrwx---+ 2 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:28 src drwxrwx---+ 6 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:29 ssl drwxrwx---+ 2 senior Users 0 Jan 9 13:28 tmp senior@romulus /usr $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) senior@romulus /usr $ chown -R senior / senior@romulus /usr $ cd /usr/bin senior@romulus /usr/bin $ rm rsync.exe rm: cannot remove `rsync.exe': Permission denied senior@romulus /usr/bin $ chmod u+w /usr/bin senior@romulus /usr/bin $ rm rsync.exe rm: cannot remove `rsync.exe': Permission denied senior@romulus /usr/bin $ ls -la rsync.exe -rwxrwxrwx 1 senior root 245248 Aug 18 03:56 rsync.exe senior@romulus /usr/bin $ less /etc/passwd senior@romulus /usr/bin $ less /etc/passwd SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:: Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-ROMULUS\Administrator,S-1-5-21-4847 63869-1563985344-682003330-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-ROMULUS\Guest,S-1-5-21-484763869-1563985344 -682003330-501:/home/Guest:/bin/bash HelpAssistant:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:Remote Desktop Help Assistant Accoun t,U-ROMULUS\HelpAssistant,S-1-5-21-484763869-1563985344-682003330-1000:/home/Hel pAssistant:/bin/bash senior:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:513:U-ROMULUS\senior,S-1-5-21-484763869-1563985 344-682003330-1003:/home/senior:/bin/bash sshd:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1020:513:sshd privsep,U-ROMULUS\sshd,S-1-5-21-48476386 9-1563985344-682003330-1020:/var/empty:/bin/bash SUPPORT_388945a0:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1002:513:CN=Microsoft Corporation,L=Redmon d,S=Washington,C=US,U-ROMULUS\SUPPORT_388945a0,S-1-5-21-484763869-1563985344-682 003330-1002:/home/SUPPORT_388945a0:/bin/bash -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
