- Subject: permissions/owners seen on cygwin-client vs. server
I get two different views of my server's "/home" directory
depending on if I'm on the server or under cygwin on a client.
On the server, I see things like:
drwsrwsrwt 2 lin users 14 Nov 24 2006 NT_Perflogs/
drwxr-s--- 2 root private 24 Jul 26 2006 archive/
drwsr-s--- 4 backup backup 94 May 14 13:53 backup/
drwxr-xr-x 4 lin devel 103 Jan 6 2007 bench/
drwxr-sr-x 3 lin devel 16 Jan 27 2007 cygwin/
drwxr-x--x 4 guest guest 176 May 6 2003 guest/
drwxr-x--- 115 lin lingrp 12288 Aug 16 16:08 lin/
drwxr-s--x 33 lin devel 4096 May 19 03:50 linux/
drwxr-x--- 5 mailtest nogroup 131 May 6 2003 mailtest/
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 188 Jul 31 19:21 packages/
drwxr-s--- 4 root samba 36 Jul 28 2005 samba/
drwxr-s--x 20 lin wheel 4096 Jun 9 17:09 tools/
drwsrws--x 4 wwwrun wwwrun 29 Jul 20 2006 www/
but locally, I see:
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Nov 24 2006 NT_Perflogs/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Jul 26 2006 archive/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 May 14 13:53 backup/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Jan 6 2007 bench/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Jan 27 2007 cygwin/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 May 6 2003 guest/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Aug 16 16:08 lin/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 May 19 03:50 linux/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 May 6 2003 mailtest/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Jul 31 19:21 packages/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Aug 19 2006 projects/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Jul 28 2005 samba/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Feb 11 2006 src/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Jun 9 17:09 tools/
drwxr-x--- 1 lin Administrators 0 Jul 20 2006 www/
--------
So why such a difference? Shouldn't I see something other than my own
user & group name?
The permissions seems to function as seen from top(server) view:
//server/home> ll backup
ls: reading directory backup: Permission denied
total 0
//server/home> ll guest
ls: reading directory guest: Permission denied
total 0
I "guess" the permissions, owners and groups I see on files on
when on my client really aren't too reliable or am I missing
something...?
Thanks,
linda
