Hi,
I have mounted my windows 98 partition on /windows. All the
directories in /windows and files have rwxr-xr-x
permissions. As root I tried chmod to 775, but to no avail.
It simply would not do it. I am running the csh as root. I
also commented out the umask (022), in the .cshrc file, but
it still would not modify permissions on any of the
directories under /windows.
Any idea as to how I can overcome this problem or why it is
happening?

Thanks.

radhika
