Why can't the file access mode be copied? I'm running b19 with coolview under WinNT, I don't know which service pack, but the System Properties shows 4.00.1381. -----Original Message----- From: John Wiersba [mailto:John DOT Wiersba AT medstat DOT com] Sent: Monday, November 02, 1998 11:25 AM To: 'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com' Subject: bug in cp: Permission denied What's up with this? touch a cp -p a b cp: b: Permission denied The copy actually works, and the timestamp is copied, but not the permissions. I'm running b19 with coolview on NT with everything binary-mounted.
