then I opened it with my native windows emacs and it only says: file
exists but cannot be read. So I checked the permissions on it with ls -l:
$ ls -l Makefile3
---------- 1 mindcooler None 299 Apr 24 09:32 Makefile3
and the original:
$ ls -l Makefile
----------+ 1 Guest None 299 Sep 13 2007 Makefile
but emacs has no problem working with the original. What's going on?
Having to chmod copied files to be able to work with them seems odd.
Did you notice the '+' at the end of the original permissions? You
know what it means? `getfacl Makefile' will show you the additional
permissions in the ACL. cp does not copy additional permissions given
in an ACL. YOu should fix the permissions of the original file in the
first place.
