Hi, does anybody here run Windows 2000 on a real machine (aka "not as vrtual machine")? If so, can you try running something along the lines of $ ls -l //server/share/non-empty-dir ? Do you encounter something weird? Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
