Can you "ls" it and see what the permissions are?
I don't know what you mean. I can open and view the security tab on the properties section of the Windows share. I created a desktop shortcut to the printer and searched all files for *servername.lnk but only the desktop link shows up. I interpret this to mean that Cygwin itself is appending '.lnk' to the printer share. The short description of how links are handled in the Cygwin FAQ leaves me confused to. I have experience in Linux. I have less experience in MS Windows and relatively no experience where these intersect - such as Cygwin. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
