Subject:	post b20.1: How to disable umask and access UNC path

Hello!

I played with a recent (1999.08.03) coolview binaries from Sergey Okhapkin which, I suppose, contain latest cygwin1.dll and have found that umask finally works.
Unfortunately permitions it uses on new files are not suitable for me and I wish to disable the new umask support. The reason:
I use cygwin on NT workstation that is not a domain member where I am member of Administrator group and often I access files on another coputer which 
is a domain member and where I am NOT an administrator. I have the same account name and password so it is not a problem to access
//domain-mmeber/share
but then with umask 007 after 
cd //domain-mmeber/share
touch x
I have the following permitions for x:
Account Unknown: Special Access(RWDPO)
<domain-name>\Administrators: Special Access(RWDPO)
Everyone: Special Access ()
System: Full Control

I do not like that "Account Unknown:"
and second I do not like to have 
"System: Full Control" by default.

It also missed a backup group from the parent directory
so new files will not be backuped (which IMHO is just an unaceptable change).

So how can I return to the parent directory permition 
inheritance in a post b20.1 world?

Also, what is a right way to access UNC path under new 
/cygdrive procedure?
I tried 
/cygdrive/host/share
/cygdrive//host/share
but it seems that only old
//host/share
works.

Regards, Igor Boukanov

PS. My CYGWIN is
tty noglob binmode
