Cygwin 1.3.3 installed in d:\
"UserA" and "UserB" in same group "GroupAB"
UserA's home is in e:\home\UserA;
ownership=UserA:GroupAB; mode=755
In e:\home\UserA,
rwxrwxrwx UserA:GroupAB DirOne
In w2k security tabs, I saw :
Owner of DirOne = UserA
Mode = Everyone rwx
= UserA rxw
= GroupAB rwx
When UserA change owner,
$ chown UserB:GroupAB DirOne
chown: changing ownership "DirOne": permission denied
But in w2k security tabs, I saw
Owner of DirOne = UserA
Mode = Everyone rwx
= UserB rxw
= GroupAB rwx
Why ownership cannot be changed by UserA ? I tried use
"chmod" by administrator, it work very well. Is it
related to "local policy" in w2k ( I tried to add
UserA and UserB for taking ownership, but it also not
works) ?
Thanks for your kindly help.
