Before I installed the latest CygWin, the symptoms I experienced were the
following:
tar would report "Permission denied" when trying to untar files directly into
a subdirectory. It'll work fine when untarring files into a subdirectory of
a subdirectory. The command used is "tar xfpv tarfile.tar".
emacs will get "Permission denied" when trying to edit files within a
subdirectory.
Now that I've installed the latest CygWin, the symptoms are:
tar reports "No such host or network path" when trying to untar files
directly into a subdirectory. It'll work fine when untarring files into a
subdirectory of a subdirectory. The command used is "tar xffpv tarfile.tar".
vi reports "Permission denied" when trying to edit files within a
subdirectory (eg "vi .bash/.bash_set"). It works fine when opening a file
within a subdirectory of a subdirectory (eg "vi
lisp/cc-mode-5.25/ANNOUNCEMENT").
All the above occurs on Novell drives but works perfectly on local drives. Has
anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks,
Noel
