Dear Cygnus,

     Are chmod and umask expected to work on a network drive?

     I have my CYGWIN variable set to "ntea ntsec" and all permissions
appear to work just like UNIX.  However, file permissions do NOT appear
to work with a network drive on a UNIX server.

     For example, "ls -l test10" from CYGWIN yields:
-rw-r--r--   1 jgrishaw None           0 Feb  7 21:35 test10
whereas from UNIX the same command yields:
-rw-rw-r--   1 jgrishaw eng            0 Feb  7 21:35 test10

     I also notice that chmod and umask do not appear to have any effect
on the file's permissions.

     I am running Cygwin v1.0 under WinNT SP3.

     Am I missing some trick or does it just not work?


Many thanks,

Jim Grishaw.
