From one day to the next, I can't chmod any old files anymore (error message: "permission denied"), but when I create a new file, I can chmod it without problems:
chmod 0777 some_old_file => ... Permission denied touch new_file chmod 0777 new_file => works fine. My first thought was that the user id might mysteriously have changed over night, but a listing of the files with ls -ln and a check of my user id with id -u confirms that the same numeric user id is used all the time. I'm running cygwin under Windows 2000. My CYGWIN variable has the value: tty ntsec smbntsec Any idea what is going wrong?
