I set up a telnet server on the NT/4 box and didn't want anything but me in the /etc/passwd file so only I could log in. (As I understood it from the various descriptions on the web on how to do this, removing everyone but me is a good security measure under Cygwin, isn't it?

Learn something every day :) However, shouldn't the -E option have changed the mode of the "world" file? My mount table shows "noexec" for /home and "world" is still executable - as is the "doe" file I just created with Explorer, but not the "john" file I `touch`ed. "treat all files under mountpoint as non-executable" (manpage for mount) leads me to believe this may be a bug. umask works fine, by the way: set to 022, "john" appeared read-only for everyone but me.
