Hi
folks,
by the
way, I saw this behaviour of chmod on my WinNT/Cygnus B20 also and it still
drives me crazy. I tried to make a shell-script executable and though chmod did
not complain, the mode did not change at all.
I recently read that the
EADATA.SF-file is used by the Cygnus-Tools to store the stuff associated with a
file. Could it be, that this file is normally not writable for a non-Admin user
and therefore the attributes do not change ?? (Couldn't try it out at my
computer yet, so just an idea ... :-)
Bye,
Holger
