-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Brian Dessent on 6/5/2005 7:31 PM:
Sorry for a reply to an old thread, but I wanted to correct some misinformation: >>You mean special logic for windows file permissions (ACL?), not only >>using the owner/group/other scheme? > > I think that it recognises files ending in ".exe" and special-cases > them. > >>$ getfacl /cygdrive/c/Programme/NSIS/NSIS.exe >># file: /cygdrive/c/Programme/NSIS/NSIS.exe >># owner: Administratoren >># group: none >>user::rwx >>group::--- >>group:SYSTEM:rwx >>group:Benutzer:r-x >> ^ >>with ------------| >> >>So it is executable. But ugo rights do not show this There are two 'test's - the bash builtin, and /bin/test from coreutils. /bin/test uses access()/eaccess() (/usr/src/coreutils-5.3.0/src/test.c:552, /usr/src/coreutils-5.3.0/lib/euidaccess.c) to determine if a file is executable, which should leave it entirely in cygwin1.dll's hands (and rely on cygwin's handling of spelling, ACLs, and ownerships). bash uses its own home-baked method (/usr/src/bash-3.0/test.c:223,609) using stat() as its base, so it appears to ignore ACLs. Please let me know if either test or /bin/test gets a wrong answer in the presence of ACLs, in which case I can report the bug upstream. The original email made it sound like only perl had the issue, and only when not using perl's access library. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
