RE: strange permissions: ----------


Hi there,

see discussion below for strange access rights. Today I had to encounter
again problems. Basically it seems that something is changing the ownership
of my home directory (/home/jse).

The system home directory is mounted to:
c:\WINNT\Profiles   /home               system       binmode

This mount synchronizes my %USERPROFILE% and $HOME directories to store my
settings for WinNT and Cygwin.
Somehow the ownership of my home changed from

drwxrwxrwx  17 544      Administ    20480 Nov  8 08:25 jse

to

drwxrwx---  17 1027     SYSTEM      20480 Nov  8 08:25 jse


This change results for strange access rights creating new files in my home
directory:

----------   1 544      Administ      180 Nov  8 08:23 makefile


Does somebody know, why this happens? What represents the user 1027? Is
there any way to revert this, because "chown 544 $HOME" is ignored?

Greetings,
Jörg
