Hi,
I am struggling to find the right permissions to allow bc to set file date/time on NTFS partitions; in my current setup I have to run bc under root privilege to make this happen, else I would always receive an "operation not allowed" error message. By the way, bc behaves precisely the same as if running the touch command from CLI. So it is actually not a bc bug or problem, but rather which options are being used when mounting the NTFS partition (umask, suid, gid, uid) and which permissions (group memberships) have been assigned to the linux user.
I would appreciate that you indicate a sample FSTAB entry for NTFS together with the applicable group memberships that would allow a non-root linux user to perform the touch operation on files located on NTFS partitions.
Thank you for your help
