My computer (windows XP) is part of an NT domain, to which I am logged in. I am using the passwd and group files that were automatically generated at install. On the local drives, the file permissions work fine: $ ls -ld . drwxr-xr-x+ 1 gsteele Domain Users 0 2010-08-05 11:18 ./ However, on the network drives, they are all clobbered: $ ls -ld /cygdrive/k/ns/qt/nanotubes/data d---------+ 1 gsteele Domain Users 0 2010-07-07 14:22 /cygdrive/k/ns/qt/nanotubes/data I also have another computer in the same network environment running cygwin 1.5.25, and when I log on this computer, the file permissions for the same directory are not clobbered: $ ls -ld /cygdrive/k/ns/qt/nanotubes/data drwxr-xr-x 1 gsteele Domain Users 0 Jul 7 14:22 /cygdrive/k/ns/qt/nanotubes/data/ Has there been a recent change in cygwin that is causing some problems with network drive file permissions? Is there a solution for this?
