YES thank you sir! :-D
that helped me find this:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00877.html
For the archive: Add to NT Environment "nontsec=smb" (no quotes, append to your existing CYGWIN value).
I did search the list before posting, but my search (CIFS, Permission) got ZERO hits. Surprisingly, even the refined search (smb nontsec) got only a few hits... all talking about this problem BEFORE the feature code was added (discussion was still taking place as to what the variable should be, including "ilikepie=yes" :-)
Interestingly, some folks had suggested that the Cygwin default mirror CMD.EXE behavior, as it would be "less confusing" (I agree). I didn't see a reply to that suggestion.
This would be a great addition to the FAQ IMO, even if it only references a search to the archives, because you need to know the answer to get a hit on this search...
