Never said I was using Samba. Why did you assume that? /us is a mount of //<server>/<share> but <server> is a Windows 2000 Server box. There is no Samba involved.Or you could just look at the FAQ:All that this says is to insure that you have ntsec set. I have it set.
Why doesn't chmod work?
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC45>
chmod still doesn't work! BTW I'm on Windows XP and use NTFS. My home
directory is on the server (/us is a mount of //<server>/<share>).
Andrew,
For Samba shares you need to have 'smbntsec' set -- 'ntsec' only affects local drives (and the ability to set user/group ids correctly, so you still need that set). Also make sure your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are up to date. I've found that I actually had to create a fake group in /etc/group and set it as my primary to be able to access a Samba share mapped from DFS on AIX. *sigh*
In the Permission Entry dialog box (under Security: Advanced) I see things like Read Attributes, Read Extended Attributes, Take Ownership. What do these relate to WRT Unix permissions?Next idea?
P.S. It would still be nice if somebody who really knew the algorithm
could explain Windows permissions and how they are mapped to Unix mode bits!
I believe <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-FILES> does an
adequate job of this...
