You're so right. This was a clean install - cleared out absolutely
everything to do with Cygwin on the machine, checked with Process
Explorer for any processes hanging around, booted the machine and even
downloaded setup.exe once more, even if I did that just a couple of days
ago. Seems the mirror I used (mirrorservice.org) hadn't caught up with
the updates - using kernel.org I could see the correct cygwin package
fly past as it was downloading.
Now I get what you indicated:
Wed Mar 24 15:01:36 jan@aeolus:~
$ ls -ld /cygdrive/
dr-xr-xr-x 5 jan Users 0 2006-12-01 00:00 /cygdrive/
and
Wed Mar 24 15:01:40 jan@aeolus:~
$ getfacl.exe /cygdrive/
# file: /cygdrive/
# owner: jan
# group: Users
user::r-x
group::r-x
other:r-x
mask:rwx
And lo and behold - my backup is running!
Thanks a million for your detailed, accurate and prompt help!
Best regards
Jan
