Rob, and other posters, many thanks for your help and explanations! Now it (=Cygwin 1.5.x) works correct with NT permissions. This is excellent. However, I noticed that the resident shield of my used Antivirus program [*] now tries to scan every file opened by RSYNC which slows down the computer enormously. With the "Cywgin" environment variable set to NTSEC (instead of NONTSEC) this is not the case: the antivirus program just scanns the infectable files. Has anybody else observed this unusual behaviour? -Richard [*] The free and commercial version of AVG Antivirus, http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition -- 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/
