A
find /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/
does not go down the /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE directory(key)
because there is no read access for people outside of the SYSTEM group:
$ ls -la /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/
total 0
dr-xr-xr-- 5 Administ SYSTEM 0 Jul 10 08:50 .
dr-xr-xr-x 9 0 0 0 Jul 10 13:03 ..
dr-xr-xr-- 4 Administ SYSTEM 0 Jul 10 08:50 HARDWARE
dr-xr-xr-- 1 Administ SYSTEM 0 Mar 15 2001 SAM
dr-xr-xr-x 1 0 0 0 Jul 10 13:03 SECURITY
dr-xr-x--- 65 Administ SYSTEM 0 Mar 15 2001 SOFTWARE
dr-xr-x--- 6 Administ SYSTEM 0 Mar 15 2001 SYSTEM
The SYSTEM group is not a normal Windows group, so how can I add myself to the
SYSTEM group (Cygwin doesn't provide the usual Linux group commands e.g.
usermod, newgrp). Otherwise, how can I modify the permissions for read access to
others so that the find command goes down the SOFTWARE directory?
Thanks
William
