Message-ID: <20020725144200.GA10502@redhat.com> Reply-To: cygwin-developers AT cygwin DOT com Mail-Followup-To: cygwin-developers AT cygwin DOT com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.23.1i At one time a year or so ago, I turned on ntsec by default in the cygwin dll. I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to do that again. It's likely that we'd be trading some "Why chmod not work???" questions for "Why it say permission denied!!!" but I wonder if the benefits would outweigh the drawbacks. I know that ntsec only works on NT and NTFS and it would probably make sense to turn off smbntsec by default if we did this. But it seems like this could still be a win. Any opinions? cgf
