They are the same as everyone else's. I tried this entry in /etc/fstab, closed all Cygwin Bash windows, opened a window, unable to create files in /cygdrive/z or subdirectories within. Z: /cygdrive/z ntfs binary,noacl 0 0 Even when I own the directory, still cannot create anything within it. I don't understand why the directories all have 700 permission. I also can't chmod 755 any directories either: Fri May 13 10:23:27 (kchristian AT some-machine) /cygdrive/z>ls -dl vimfiles/ drwx------+ 1 kchristian Domain Users 0 Aug 9 2010 vimfiles/ Fri May 13 10:23:30 (kchristian AT some-machine) /cygdrive/z>touch vimfiles/foo2 touch: cannot touch `vimfiles/foo2': Permission denied Fri May 13 10:23:35 (kchristian AT some-machine) /cygdrive/z>getfacl -a -d ./vimfiles/ # file: ./vimfiles/ # owner: kchristian # group: Domain Users I may ask our Windows Admin to open a BASH window on my workstation with "Run As....Administrator" privileges, and ask him to chmod 755 all directories. =====Keith -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
