Re: File permission problem


I just verified the umask patch is still in place:

$ (umask 000;ls -la /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS);(umask 077;ls -la /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS)
-rwxr-xr-x    1 docbill  None       222390 Apr 23  1999 /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS
-rwx------    1 docbill  None       222390 Apr 23  1999 /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS

So if your problem is that you are using Win9x, &/or FAT32 you are in
luck.  The remaining question is if this works for network mounts with
Win9x....
