I suppose it depends on what you mean when you say "cygwin doesn't grok 
inheritable permissions".  This email list has discussed in the past that
Cygwin's permissions are "affected" by the setting of inheritable
permissions
in Windows.  There is no corollary in POSIX permissions, which is the view
that Cygwin takes and enforces.  So it's possible to set permissions through
Windows that trump Cygwin's.  This can be the case with setting "inheritable
permissions" in Windows.  I don't know that I call this a feature.  It's 
probably closer to a "if you don't like this behavior, don't do that!"  I 
know, easier said than done.

Subject: ntsec and NTFS inheritable permissions


It seems that cygwin doesn't grok inheritable permissions on my system
(I'm using Windows XP; CYGWIN environment variable contains
'ntsec'). Is it a feature (or, rather, abscence of it) or my fault ?
