When running "ls -l" the permissions field shows as "----------+". Oddly, "ls -l" shows the correct permissions if the pathname uses the windows drive letter syntax. eg: $ pwd /cygdrive/c $ ls -l tmp/plb.txt ----------+ 1 ga2binn Domain Users 5527 Mar ?3 13:54 tmp/plb.txt $ ls -l c:/tmp/plb.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 ga2binn Domain Users 5527 Mar ?3 13:54 c:/tmp/plb.txt Similarly, TAR images have no permissions on the files contained. eg: $ pwd /cygdrive/c/tmp $ tar cf - plb.txt | tar vtf - ---------- ga2binn/Domain Users 5527 2011-03-03 13:54 plb.txt Even more oddly, this behaviour (both LS and TAR) occurs on a new PC that I am moving to. I have the same version of Cygwin on an older PC which does not have the problem. I have diffed the "cygcheck -s -v -r" output from both PC's and can see nothing that would explain the broken behaviour on the new PC. Both PC's are running the same version of XP SP3. I have also reinstalled Cygwin with the latest version (its cygcheck attached).
