I just upgraded to the new cygwin dll and gcc, and I seem to be running into some of the same problems reported by others. (Yes, I know ntsec is now enabled by default.)
First problem: chmod doesn't work. Whenever I try to use it, I just get "chmod: changing permissions of `foo': Invalid argument". Second problem: gcc doesn't set execute permission on the .exe files it creates. For the moment I've "solved" the problems by switching off ntsec (CYGWIN=nontsec in the system variables), so I don't urgently need a solution. I've seen other people report similar problems, but nobody has suggested a solution (at least to the ones that weren't due to simple ignorance of ntsec). -- Ross Smith ......................
