hi. so, i have done a good deal of net searching pior to seeking
email advice, i'd appreciate your feedback at this point...
I have recently installed cygwin on W2K using CYGWIN=binmode ntea tty;
It seems that ntsec is infinutely more useful for unix-like file
directories but, from what i gather, it won't be much use to me on at
FAT32 system.
I gather, given my setup, that the "chmod NNN File" command is relatively
useless. When I do attempt this approach, I get "Bad File Descriptor"
returned. Any chmod command returns the same result. I am guessing that
this might be due to the UNIX to DOS mapping features of cygwin but, if
there is a way to make chmod work, i'd love to hear it (I have read
the FAQ and still didn't find a good solution).
I am learning my way around ACLs. The file i am trying to access
is Hello.c. When i type ls -l I get -rw-r--r--. I have tried setfacl to
change these values to something similar to "chmod 777". Everything i
type has no effect:
setfacl -m u:Peter Dushkin:rwx Hello.c
setfacl -m u:(null or 544): Hello.c
setfacl -s u:Peter Dushkin:rwx Hello.c
setfacl -s u:(null or 544):rwx Hello.c
setfacl -s u:544
setfacl -m u:544... and so on
The core of my questions are this:
1) am i right to be using ntea given my system 2) am i right that chmod
won't work (and what is meant by "bad file descriptor" 3) Should i cange
some values in either my passwd or group files that will make setfacl
work? 4) If not, could you please describe an exact command that might
do the trick... I see in the help file that the convention is: setfacl
[-r] (-f ACLFILE | -s acl entries) FILE Is there an *actual* ACL file
that I should be referencing in my commands and, if so, where is it
located?
