no, it does not appear. I set my CYGWIN var and restarted XP. I repeat, my assumption is that this happens because I originally installed cygwin in win98. Its XP running was settled by manually creating the mount points (I actually didn't modify registry, but "mount"-ed "-s" by hand the 3 original points setup does, i.e. "/" "/usr/bin" and "/usr/lib"). In this case, my "/" resides on a FAT32 partition, and I think this is the main reason for ntea's behaviour. Or could this happen due to any local/domain user necessary preamble (i.e. if my XP is -- and it is -- a domain member, then ntea will work only when I first use chmod logged in as a domain user) ?! ... to be tested.
