I am running Windows 7, cygdrive 1.7. After installation all files my files show up as 000 permissions. I have to chmod in order to modify files.

Secondly, existing files like: 'FTT.xml' has many more groups assigned to it than the file 'hello' with security controls. I would think that for all files created by cygwin, "System" and "Administrators" should always be given full control. -- 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
