If you're talking about the FAT attribute FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY, you're right. This bit isn't set in the open() call in Cygwin. Setting the NTFS permissions with ntsec or the extended attribute with ntea is ok, though. However, I've checked in a fix. Try the next developers snapshot or current from CVS.
