My executable that calls MoveFileW spawned by the version of bash I've got in my cygwin 1.7.1 installation has SeDebugPrivilege and SeBackupPrivilege enabled. With the version of bash I've got in my cygwin 1.5.25 installation those privileges are disabled. When I disable the SeRestorePrivilege before calling MoveFileW, it fails under cygwin 1.7.1 as well with access denied. SeRestorePrivilege enabled by default ------------------------------------- $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/bash bash-3.2.49-23 $ uname -r 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) SeRestorePrivilege disabled by default -------------------------------------- $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/bash bash-3.2.25-17 $ uname -r 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) -DB -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
