> Have you checked the default ACL on the directory containing the file?
No, and there's nothing special there now that I checked. I can change the "Read & Execute" for the .exe file from the Windows file properties without having to deal with anything special or additional (like inherited permissions), so I don't think the containing directory has anything to do with it. $ getfacl /cygdrive/z # file: /cygdrive/z # owner: lavr # group: cppcore user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x getfacl: /cygdrive/z: Invalid argument $ getfacl.exe /mnt # file: /mnt # owner: lavr # group: cppcore user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x getfacl: /mnt: Invalid argument (where /mnt is the same network share mounted with the "exec" option, see previous posts; not sure what EINVAL means there in the output, it does not appear for files -- seems to be only when directories are inquired) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
