Just noticed there is a difference between 'ls -l simulator' and 'ls -l
simulator.lnk'. The former actually shows only 'simulator', not 'simulator.lnk'
as 'ls -l' does.
So here is the strace of 'ls -l simulator.lnk'

Hello :)

Probably about time to update www.cygwin.com, particularily the main 
page to refer to the fact 1.5.x is out now?

As in the part that says:

  Latest Cygwin DLL release version is 1.5.3-1

or the part that says:

  New Cygwin DLL 1.5.3-1 release

  An update release for the Cygwin DLL and its accompanying utilities.
  Sep 1 2003, Christopher Faylor

Both changes were made on 2003-09-01 when cygwin was released.

This should be fixed in the current snapshot.

Thanks.  I could reproduce this on a SAMBA share.  I guess this will
be fixed in the next Cygwin release.

What type are the remote shares, Samba or Windows?
Please send an strace of `ls -l <exactly_one_remote_lnk_file>'.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but the R/O attribute is set (checked with
Win Explorer locally and per remote desktop)

The reason is probably the missing R/O bit on the network drive.  Can you
check the properties dialog of one of these files when accessing them
remote?

symlink extension shown using 1.5.3

[stmoebius]

Since I updated to cygwin 1.5.3 and bash 2.0.5b13, symlinks *on* network
drives are shown by ls including the '.lnk'. They are properly recognized as
symlinks and it is even possible to, e.g., change the directory using only the
link name (without '.lnk').

Symlinks on local drives are shown just fine.

Using:
cygwin 1.5.3-1
bash 2.0.5b-13
fileutils 4.1-2

on w2ksp4. The server uses w2k as well.

Anyway, thanks for a great product.

Stefan
