> You can often figure permissions problems I already figured where the problem was, in how cygwin convers (or, actually doesn't) the UNIX's "x" bit into the native DAC for the underlying filesystem (to store as, again, "x" in the Linux share). Missing that DAC, SMBD returns "Access denied" for an attempt to execute the .exe file.
I don't think that any of the requested output is of any help or indication, rather than to actually show that the execute permission is missing. $ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/z Device Type : 7 Characteristics : 10 Volume Name : <home> Serial Number : 3112497429 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NTFS> Flags : 1006f FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH : TRUE FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES : TRUE FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK : TRUE FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS : TRUE FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION : FALSE FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_FILES : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_REPARSE_POINTS: FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE: FALSE FILE_VOLUME_IS_COMPRESSED : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION : FALSE FILE_NAMED_STREAMS : FALSE FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME : FALSE FILE_SEQUENTIAL_WRITE_ONCE : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_TRANSACTIONS : FALSE $ pwd /cygdrive/z $ gcc hello.c $ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/z/a.exe Device Type : 7 Characteristics : 10 Volume Name : <home> Serial Number : 3112497429 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NTFS> Flags : 1006f FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH : TRUE FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES : TRUE FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK : TRUE FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS : TRUE FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION : FALSE FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_FILES : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_REPARSE_POINTS: FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE: FALSE FILE_VOLUME_IS_COMPRESSED : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION : FALSE FILE_NAMED_STREAMS : FALSE FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME : FALSE FILE_SEQUENTIAL_WRITE_ONCE : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_TRANSACTIONS : FALSE $ ls -dl /cygdrive/z/a.exe -rw-rw-r--+ 1 lavr cppcore 157753 Aug 14 21:30 /cygdrive/z/a.exe $ getfacl /cygdrive/z/a.exe # file: /cygdrive/z/a.exe # owner: lavr # group: cppcore user::rw- user:lavr:rw- group::r-- group:cppcore:r-- mask::rw- other::r-- $ icacls `cygpath -w /cygdrive/z/a.exe` Z:\a.exe S-1-22-1-4640:(R,W) S-1-22-2-5333:(R) S-1-22-2-5333:(R) S-1-22-1-4640:(R,W) Everyone:(R) Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files -- 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
