This is how upstream `make install' creates the permissions. This is a problem, though, because x without r doesn't work terribly well on Windows anyway, but OTOH this application requires some kind of "root" access, so it's setuid anyway. Since we don't support that, it's a bit useless ATM. > PS: I have the same problem with /etc/rebase.db.x86_64 which only have > 660 permissions. It's a created file, not a distributed one. Just change the perms as desired. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
