First let me appologise for the bad subject line and lack of explicit content. I realise the importance of following forum guidelines and I shall try to be clearer, at least within my ability.
As mentioned at the beginning of my post, though perhaps not so clearly as I should. Cgywin was provided with a simulator called omnet++. I have read the omnet++ documentation and asked questions on forums but was still unable to resolve the issue. Regarding one of the resolutions to the possible cause by space in user name: there doesn't appear to be a passwd file in etc directory, so I cannot change that. Perhaps, as suggested, I should create a new windows user name without spaces and login as that person. But I guess I would have to recreate the directory structure over again for me to be the owner. Is this what the post about spaces is suggesting? Regarding the container directory: Directory owner is me and group is Administrators. This is the same for all files and directories I have every looked at. Regarding FAT, this is the integral C: drive and it is formatted NTFS. I think I did mention this, but I may have used wrong terminology or not been explicit. Sorry. Regarding reporting guidlines and running pre-checks: My disk is indexed and a search for cygcheck.* revealed nothing. I am not sure from where I should run cygcheck. I feel I have probably again left some obvious error in my post or have missed something obvious on the site, but it is not intentional and I appologise in advance. I have been looking at this on my own for a long time. I guess it's jusy inexperience. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Newbie-confused-about-chmod-tp30931008p30934365.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
