No - how can I find out? But even then - should not be the same clock used for ctime and mtime? Have you recently used an NTP server to align your clock with the rest of the world? Yes, I'm setting my system's time via a NTP server, but this too can't explain why ctime and mtime are different, can it? Like I said, I have no idea how ctime would be different from mtime on file creation. But as the rest of your mail shows, they aren't different; instead, it was the difference between ctime/mtime and now that you were complaining about. However, I want one thing to be clear - ls does not list creation time; it lists change time (ctime not stand for creation time in POSIX, instead, the BSD notion birthtime, aka Btime, maps to the Windows creation time - for full birthtime support in cygwin, you need to use a snapshot, as cygwin 1.5.24 does not support querying birthtime). Right ... just when you create a new file, change time *is* creation time, isn't it? Yes, creating a new file is supposed to set mtime, ctime, atime, and Btime all to the same value. Note that stat(1) does not (yet) list Btime (in part, because doing so would require you to use a snapshot). Also, stat(1) may be nicer than ls(1) for figuring these timestamp issues out. Good point. I was not aware of stat(1) before.

Hmm, could it be that your files reside on a remote mount, and that NFS is reflecting the time of the remote machine (ie. the remote machine leads or lags your machine)? BUT I have found something new: The effect occurs ONLY if the file resides on the network drive. I tried the same for creating a local file on my hard disk, and there timing is correct. Yep - that clinches it - clock skew between the machines. Could it be that file creation times are put into the directory in a different way if it is a mapped drive from the network? It is an artifact of how Windows interacts with remote drives in the presence of clock skew between the machines. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

I have a script which so far does: * Mounts * Adds some users and messes with their rights * Redoes password files * Adds some services * Fixes permissions across the whole file tree * Starts said services I did originally try and package the whole install up as an MSI, but it's just a horrible tool and I gave up. On two of the hosts that I have installed this on there are the problems with slow fork()'s (see my other thread), so I was wondering if I'd missed something. I'd assume I wouldn't need _most_ of the post install since that would be duplicated by copying the c:\cygwin\ dir. I'm trying to get a maintenance window to reboot and rebaseall on the machines in question.

Permission denied problem
Hi, I have a permission denied problem with a specific network directory $ ls /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ ls: cannot open directory /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ: Permission denied I described this problem some time ago in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-02/msg00023.html Larry Hall suggested me to try nontsec, but this did not change the behaviour. I also read the doc in http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html but couldn't get a solution for the problem. getfacl gives the same answer $ getfacl.exe /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ # file: /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ # owner: ffa195 # group: mkgroup-l-d user::rwx group::r-x other:r-x mask:rwx for both the directories with the permission problem and for other directories without the problem.

I can putty to it and type in some commands to report info back if there is something specific to find out. Also can talk to their tech support 24/7. Ok, here's a WAG. Your problem stems from the fact that the Unix permissions on that directory really are 0. All of the access information is stored in separate ACLs, which rsync does not copy. Thus, it sets the permissions on the remote copy to 0, and, obviously, is unable to write to that directory afterwards. You can run chmod -R 775 on that directory, which should, if my WAG above is correct, fix your rsync problem. Igor P.S. Before you ask, I'm not aware of any way to make rsync copy the ACLs. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_

Cygwin won't install on Windows 2008.
It deterministically gets stuck while executing (any of the) scripts in the installation phase. I haven't found any info on this on Google. It doesn't help to run it in elevated or backward compatibility mode.

Similar problem in Windows XP. It happens at least during the installation of X11.
