Re: Read-only samba directory appears writable to Cygwin


Peter Fales wrote:
We've got a directory which is mounted from a Samba server.  The server
is sharing the directory as read-only.  However under Cygwin

access("/path/to/samba/mount/some_file",W_OK)

is returning 0, indicating the that file is writable.    I assume this
is because Cygwin doesn't "know" that directory is read-only.   Is there
any workaround (such as an option to "mount") that would tell cygwin
that the directory is read-only, or that all directories have 555 permission
instead of 755?

Hmm, if you were asking this of Linux, I'd say 'use a umask option in the mount'... does Cygwin not have such a thing? (NOTE: That question is directed at the other Cygwin folks; I looked and did not find one in the 'man' so I'm guessing it does not?)
