Hi,
I know this is a dumb question but I have made genuine efforts to understand
what I'm doing wrong and I'm still missing the point. Sorry for wasting
your time.
I've installed cygwin under WXP in a domain. When I first started bash I
got a warning about groups but it said that I could safely ignore it so I
did. Of course now I can't remember exactly what it was but I think it was
something about creating
mkgroup-l-d because it couldn't create the correct group.
I pressed on regardless but I found I couldn't get chmod to work so I
searched the documentation, web and mailing list archives and found that I
should set the CYGWIN environment variable to "ntsec". I also noted that
this should now be the default anyway but I set it anyway and it hasn't
solved the problem.
$ echo $CYGWIN
ntsec
$ chmod -v u+x .bashrc
mode of `.bashrc' changed to 0744 (rwxr--r--)
$ ls -l .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 matt mkgroup-l-d 316 Jan 11 13:39 .bashrc
I also note that I have write permission to the folder.
drwxr-xr-x 1 matt mkgroup-l-d 4096 Jan 11 17:12 .
Can anyone put me out of my misery? Thanks in advance,
Matt
