Hi all,
For some reason, new files created on a SAMBA drive have 0660 permission
bits, whereas new files created on an NTFS drive have the same permission
bits as the containing directory. Both ignore umask. Does anyone know
the reason why? How would I go about debugging this?

"c:\cygwin" is mounted as "/". Your Windows drives (c:, d:) are mounted

Thanks for clearing up the misconception, Igor. I looked under the Cygwin packages and
found gawk, but when I go back to "Install Now!", I don't see where I can select
"gawk" under Categories (which includes Admin*Default, Archive*Default, Base*Default,
etc.) - which category would gawk be in?
I am very confused about how cygwin maps its root to the c:/cygwin
directory. I'm also not sure what /cygdrive is.

called passwd in c:/etc (which doesn't exist). If I try to write this file,
gvim fails, which, of course, i
Just to correct a misconception for the archives: you download packages
using setup.exe. You go to the Cygwin Package Search page to find out
which package contains the file or program you need.
So, the correct procedure to install a file you're missing is:
1) Go to http://cygwin.com/packages/

Hi,
When installing LWP through CPAN, the installation creates the GET, HEAD
and POST scripts in /usr/bin. On Cygwin, the name HEAD clashes with an
existing program, /bin/head.exe (Cygwin assumes a ".exe" extension if it
cannot find a program, so /bin/head normally invokes /bin/head.exe).

In short, gawk is in a separate package, and you probably haven't
downloaded it. If you direct the users to download cygwin, you may also
want to give them a list of packages they need for your applications.

I don't use csh or tcsh routinely, so I forgot they have an internal
command which.
Cygwin users,
An older download for Windows included awk.exe and gawk.exe in the cygwin/bin
directory. I downloaded a recent version (1.3.12-2) that apparently doesn't include
these files, so running the cygwin utility doesn't seem to work.

Doesn't address the 'which head' issue and /bin/sh scripts calling head...
Also doesn't help with 'ls /bin/head', '[ -x /bin/head ]', etc.

Your solution only works if the users are local administrators, as a domain
user has no rights to HKLM (and hence to create a system mount). In our
