I was just thinking about that. Yes, you could likely use Services for Unix to mount the drive, and use the SFU "chmod" tools to change the permissions. But I don't know if SFU supports using standard Win32 calls to change permissions via NFS, or if SFU has it's own API for handling NFS permission changes. If SFU uses a separate API, then the cygwin "chmod" is unlikely to work. -- 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/
