Feel free to suspect cockpit errors :-)
But all I can say is that chmod didn't work,
and then I made zero changes, and while I was
sending emails to the list, chmod started
working again. The only possible change I made
to my system was opening or closing IIRC an
unrelated windows application. Maybe that was
it?
Maybe I shouldn't try chmod-ing a file that
is on a network share and mapped locally to
Z:/ and mounted to /home/pbuckley for cygwin?
The discussion is in two threads-
"chmod/chown + ntsec doesn't work"
"OpenSSH and RSA authentication problem"

Your mouse has moved.
Windows NT must be restarted for the change to take effect.
Reboot now? [OK]
