The only thing I found was part of my problem, but no solution. We got two machines (WinNT 4.0 and Win2K) which uses a specified directory on a netware drive. On both machines runs the same cygwin (1.5.10-3). I "touch" a file from the NT-machine to the netware-drive ("test1"). When I try to remove it with "rm" no problem appears. Again I "touch" a file from the NT-machine to the netware-drive ("test2"). I tried to remove it with the 2k-machine and nothing appears. "rm" finish correctly, but the file "test2" still exists and no error message is displayed. Then I tried to remove it with the NT-machine and the same problem as on the 2k-machine appears. Even with a Windows application (equal if NT or 2k) the file "test2" can not be erased (a message appears "used by another application"). After waiting a couple of minutes (don't know how long) the file can be erased with "rm" from the NT-machine or with windows itself. But not from the 2k-machine. (what kind of timer blocks the file ?) If I "touch" the file from the 2k-machine, it also can not be erased with "rm". Can anybody help me, please? Oh, I forgot: It's also not possible to overwrite the file. I made "strace"s on both machines but found nothing of interest.
