From: butterw AT bioeng DOT washington DOT edu (Erik Butterworth) Subject: bash script execute permissions over NFS 25 Apr 1998 00:17:51 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I'm running GNU Win-32 Beta 19.1 and Hummingbird's NFS client to connect to a Sun Solaris NFS server. /bin/sh scripts on the server have execute permission according to Solaris and according to NT's file Properties popup. However, the ls command under bash shows the script (e.g. 'zork') with no execute permission and bash says it can't execute it (file not found). If I rename 'zork' to 'zork.bat', ls then shows zork.bat to have execute permission, and bash will execute it properly. This problem does not occur when using local NTFS disks, only NFS mounted disks. On local NTFS disks scripts run properly with or without the .bat suffix. Anyone know what's going on here, or how to fix it? I _really_ don't want to have to rename every script on the system with a .bat suffix.
