Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Medianet/v2.0 Message-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by delorie.com id g1IAUIO06565 Hi, I've got a problem concerning file permissions between CygWin/Windows and Unix. 1. I've checked-out a file on a Unix server (my login is axelle): colibri{axelle}[/home/axelle/papers]> ls -al total 160 drwx--x--x 3 axelle nss 512 Feb 15 16:58 ./ drwx--x--x 9 axelle nss 512 Feb 11 17:12 ../ drwx--x--x 2 axelle nss 512 Feb 15 15:23 CVS/ -rwx-wx--x 1 axelle nss 7995 Feb 15 16:58 isse-xml.tex* => I've got read & write access to my file isse-xml.tex. 2. and then try to access it from Windows, using Cygwin. {Administrator}[/e/axelle/papers]> ls -al total 77 drwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Feb 15 16:58 . drwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Feb 11 17:12 .. drwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Feb 15 15:23 CVS -rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 7995 Feb 15 16:58 isse-xml.tex {Administrator}[/e/axelle/papers]> id uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(None) groups=513(None) => Okay so I'm Administrator, the permission access rights are rw-r--r-- : so I should have read & write access to my file ? => BUT When I load the file through Emacs, it's non-writable ! Why ? If I check-out the file directly through Cygwin, then I have read & write access.. What's happening ? How can I solve that problem ?
