Hello all,

I recently re-installed cygwin, now I can't create a new file or
directory within cygwin. I even made a new directory using explorer.
Gave this directory the permissions everyone full control.  In cygwin I
chmod to 777 on this directory.  It lets me chmod and chown on files and
directories.  But if I go in that directory and try to make a new file
or directory it says permission denied.

any ideas?
thanks,
