Re: File permission problem


This sound suspiciously like the files are on a FAT32 file partition. Are they?

Yes. But I have already export the environment variable "ntsec" and restart cygwin. But chmod still doesn't work. Do I need to run any server in order to activate the change?

Dear all,

I have try to generate a private key file so that I don't need
to enter password everytime I "ssh" to a remote machine. However, "ssh"
complaints me about the permission of key file. I don't know why
"chmod"
always return 666 or 444 even I want to change the file to 600 or 400.

Does anymore have idea? Thanks.


Does this describe your situation?

Why doesn't chmod work?
