If not, please correct me.)Change the /cygdrive entry in /etc/fstab Then you'll get normal Windows permissions everywhere, except, perhaps, the Cygwin root.Is this what you mean? none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl,override 0 0 Is this a "good thing" to do? I find the following advice from the FAQ intimidating: Therefore, the root directory evaluated by Cygwin itself is treated as an immutable mount point and can't be overridden in /etc/fstab... unless you think you really know what you're doing. In this case, use the override flag in the options field in the /etc/fstab file. Since this is a dangerous thing to do, do so at your own risk.
This is talking about the root directory (/) for Cygwin, not the cygdrive directory.
Will this affect my permission-dependent stuff like ssh authentication?
If your home directory is under the Cygwin root directory, then ssh authentication won't be affected. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
