The linux accounts that are not in your domain and are under private user-names, are NOT something that you have "write" permission to. It sounds like those users (users outside your domain -- and not within your administrative group) have allowed "anyone" to have read access, but it makes sense that they wouldn't trust "anonymous" (that's you, if you haven't authenticated against their machine). You seem to be asking for access to files owned by people outside your group (or maybe outside your company, for that matter, it's not known). The Domain is a means to provide common trusted access to a group of people who have agreed to honor each others' permission settings. Right now, the linux people are not in a common-trust group, so you can't force your wanted access upon them. Until you and their machines share a common security token (the Domain token), you can't have shared permission settings. Alternatively , you might be able to convince the linux people to give you an account on each linux machine, and use that login when attaching to a share on that linux machine -- but that would be a pain. Certainly, if they agreed to use a common domain and shared things with other domain users, that would be easier, but until they agree to be in a common domain, you can't force your desired access upon them. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
