OK, fair enough. I just thought it might be safer or "more polite" for Setup to not change permissions which Setup didn't set in the first place, or that the user might have explicitly set. And, of course, the user always has the option to change the permissions back again if they really want them. -- 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
