[ I composed this this morning before Andrew DeFaria sent his recent message: "Subject: Permission bits" and didn't know whether to sent it. I guess I will, as a second to Andrew's request. ]
As I understand it, the following factors all contribute to the ultimate determination of the POSIX file modes assigned by Cygwin:
ACL
CYGWIN=ntsec vs. CYGWIN=nontsec
mount vs. mount -x vs. mount -E vs. mount -XCould some one who both understands the workings well and has the time bring together in one place a concise synopsis of how all these factors contribute to the "net" file mode any given file or directory appears to have to Cygwin applications? Perhaps a table of some sort?
