- Subject: Read-only samba directory appears writable to Cygwin
We've got a directory which is mounted from a Samba server. The server
is sharing the directory as read-only. However under Cygwin
access("/path/to/samba/mount/some_file",W_OK)
is returning 0, indicating the that file is writable. I assume this
is because Cygwin doesn't "know" that directory is read-only. Is there
any workaround (such as an option to "mount") that would tell cygwin
that the directory is read-only, or that all directories have 555 permission
instead of 755?
