The attached rm.notworking.trace file is from an "rm -f dac.txt" command that gets the permission denied error; i.e., when the permissions on the file are 444. Things seem to start going south at entry 34276.
The attached rm.working.trace file is from an "rm -f dac.txt" command done after I do a "chmod u+w dac.txt" command.

I just recently started noticing that the following sequence doesn't work: $ touch dac.txt $ chmod 444 dac.txt $ rm -f dac.txt The rm -f command gets a permission denied error. This just started happening recently, and I'm thinking it's because of an update to Windows. If I do chmod u+w dac.txt before the rm -f command, then the command works. The same sequence executed on a different machine that runs Windows 7 and hasn't been updated in a while works fine. And it used to work fine on my workstation. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?Not me. Are you sure you're using Cygwin's rm and chmod? Could this be related to parent directory permissions? The problem would be in Cygwin if that happens, but I tested this on a fully updated Windows 8.1 in 32 and 64 bit. Does an `strace -o rm.trace rm dac.txt' give a clue in rm.trace? Corinna
