That's what acl/noacl is for. See the user's guide: http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table With "acl" switched on, Cygwin uses what's returned by the file system and in case of a Samba share the user and group are special SIDs constructed from the OSes uid/gid values. If you want nice entries in ls -l output, add the users and groups to your local /etc/passwd and /etc/group files using mkpasswd and mkgroup with the new -U options: http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkpasswd http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkgroup For instance: $ mkpasswd -U root,corinna -S_ -L my_samba_box Unix User_root:unused:10000:99999:,S-1-22-1-0:: Unix User_corinna:unused:10500:99999:,S-1-22-1-500:: $ mkpasswd -U root,corinna -S_ -L my_samba_box >> /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -U root,corinna -S_ -L my_samba_box Unix Group_root:S-1-22-2-0:10000: Unix Group_vinschen:S-1-22-2-11125:21125: $ mkgroup -U root,corinna -S_ -L my_samba_box >> /etc/group $ cd //my_samba_box/my_share $ ls -l some_file -rw------- 1 UnixUser_corinna UnixGroup_vinschen 172 2009-09-22 16:27 some_file Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
