My Windows 7 (64-bit) machine is part of a domain and I normally log into it as a domain user.
Something is misconfigured because Cygwin programs seem to have a problem with file permissions. For example: $ ls -l visitor* ----------+ 1 cory Domain Users 3236 2010-07-11 22:37 visitor.cpp ----------+ 1 cory Domain Users 2260 2010-07-14 09:16 visitor.h If I open visitor.cpp with Cygwin vim, it tells me it is read-only. I can force a save though with w!. If I open this same file with notepad or my Windows version of gvim, I can edit and save the file and am never told it is read-only. I've been researching quite a bit and I recreated my /etc/passwd and group files with the -d switch. I thought it had something to do with the domain, but now I don't think that's the case. I'm starting to think it might be the filesystem or perhaps how it is mounted. The mount command reports: $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Y: on /cygdrive/y type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Drive Y is a mapping to a network location. Interestingly, ls -l /cygdrive returns: d---------+ 1 ???????? ???????? 24576 2010-07-09 11:18 c drwx------+ 1 Administrators Domain Users 0 2010-07-14 06:58 y The c folder looks weird, the y folder looks correct. Any suggestions?
