My system is joined to a domain and is connected to multiple servers via mapped network shares in Windows. All of the windows servers allow read/write access to all files, but the Fedora servers all open with read-only access. I can still write to most files in vim by specifying :w! so it's not like I can't do anything, it just becomes an inconvenience. I have searched for similar issues and read through the documentation for samba shares, but the solutions all point to things to do when not on a domain. The servers are not using winbindd to map users and my access to them is limited to a standard user. I can't add SAM comments since my user account is not a local account, but on the domain and I'm not sure if it is being used by the organization. Here is the output of the mount command: ❯ mount C:/cygwin64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) I: on /cygdrive/i type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) J: on /cygdrive/j type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) M: on /cygdrive/m type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) N: on /cygdrive/n type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) O: on /cygdrive/o type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) P: on /cygdrive/p type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Q: on /cygdrive/q type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) R: on /cygdrive/r type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) S: on /cygdrive/s type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) U: on /cygdrive/u type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) V: on /cygdrive/v type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) W: on /cygdrive/w type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) X: on /cygdrive/x type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Y: on /cygdrive/y type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Z: on /cygdrive/z type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) And here is the user/group info for each mapped drive: ❯ ls -l /cygdrive total 96 d---r-x---+ 1 NT SERVICE+TrustedInstaller NT SERVICE+TrustedInstaller 0 Sep 26 08:50 c drwxrwx---+ 1 Administrators Domain Users 0 Sep 14 11:57 i drwxrwx---+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Sep 26 12:55 j drwxrwx---+ 1 Administrators Domain Users 0 Sep 27 07:55 m drwxrwx---+ 1 Administrators Unknown+Group 0 Sep 8 13:26 n drwxrwx---+ 1 Administrators Unknown+Group 0 Dec 31 2015 o drwxrwx---+ 1 Administrators Unknown+Group 0 Jun 12 2014 p drwxrwx---+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Aug 15 15:04 q drwxr-xr-x 1 root ieng6_root 0 Jul 12 04:04 r drwxr-xr-x 1 root ieng6_root 0 Jul 12 04:04 s drwxr-xr-x 1 root ieng6_root 0 Jul 12 04:04 u drwxr-xr-x 1 root ieng6_root 0 Jul 12 04:04 v drwxrwxr-x 1 Unknown+User Unix_Group+505 0 Sep 21 09:41 w drwxrwxr-x 1 Unix_User+99 Unix_Group+505 0 Sep 27 13:59 x drwxrwxr-x 1 Unix_User+99 Unix_Group+101 0 Sep 21 15:20 y drwxrwxr-x 1 Unknown+User Unix_Group+505 0 Sep 15 15:18 z Here are the mappings: NET USE O: \\REDACTED1\www /user:$USER NET USE P: \\REDACTED2\www /user:$USER NET USE Q: \\REDACTED3\ASA\REDACTED NET USE R: \\REDACTED4\www /user:REDACTED4\cwporter password NET USE S: \\REDACTED5\docs /user:$USER password NET USE T: \\REDACTED6\ /user:$USER password NET USE U: \\REDACTED7\docs /user:sspps-portal\cwporter password NET USE V: \\REDACTED8\docs /user:sspps-portal\cwporter password NET USE W: \\REDACTED9\docs\dev /user:$USER password NET USE X: \\REDACTED10\docs\public /user:$USER NET USE Y: \\REDACTED11\docs\public /user:$USER password NET USE Z: \\REDACTED12\docs\dev /user:$USER password I don't seem to be able to grasp what I'm missing or what I need to do in order to get write access without jumping through hoops. The mappings work without issues in Windows but for some reason they just don't work the same way in cygwin. Can anything tell me what I might be missing? Thanks, Wayne Porter
