No, I actually meant "ntea". I found it in some docs somewhere. It enables unix-like permissions. Without it (or maybe ntsec. I never heard of that one), chmod doesn't do anything. Nonetheless, as I recall, you're a cygwin maintainer, and know much more about it than I do. I just know i needed this flag. What does 'ntsec' do? It's a pain to dig through the cygwin doc, as it's multiple files, non-searchable, at least what I find. I just use it like unix, and live with what doesn't work, usually (nothing comes to mind at the moment).
