Hi, The u:/ drive is my working ones on the network, some kind of HOME. I have no problems with write accesses neither using Windows2000 nor cygwin-1.5.13-1. The cygwin-1.5.14-1 runs correctly as well. It seems to me that the behavior of the chmod is combined with the some changes of cygwin, made in the update from the 1.5.14-1 up to cygwin-1.5.15-1. I have checked some other commands as well: tmp> ls -ltr total 1 -r--r--r-- 1 ropach mkpasswd 5 Apr 29 07:13 yahoo tmp> touch yahoo tmp> ls -ltr total 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 ropach mkpasswd 5 Apr 29 07:14 yahoo tmp> ls -ltr total 1 -r--r--r-- 1 ropach mkpasswd 5 Apr 29 07:14 yahoo It is sort of strange, that the by the first call of ls the write permission is set. It has been forgotten by the second one. The touch generates no permission error either.
