Thanks for doing this; it even worked on my Win98 box, and coreutils-5.3.0-6 `mkdir -p' now works flawlessly. There are still a couple of caveats: First, the directory permissions of // and //server are 111 instead of 555, which would make more sense since you now have a working readdir(). Second, directories on my XP share show as size 4294967295 on my win98 box: $ ls -l //eblake dr-xr-xr-x 0 eblake unknown 4294967295 Dec 31 1969 SharedDocs/ drwxr-xr-x 0 eblake unknown 4294967295 Dec 31 1969 eblake_c/ But this is probably a pre-existing limitation of Win98 being unable to stat() directories on remote machines, since it appears even when I access directories through a drive letter as well. Also, it appears that cygcheck is doing work, but not printing any output. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
