Cygwin 1.3.13 turns on "ntsec" by default. If you didn't specify this
before
in your CYGWIN environment variable, shame on you! ;-) Your best bet is to
change the permissions on the files you need to reflect proper ownership and
continue to use the new default. Alternatively, you can whimp out and set
"nontsec" instead in your CYGWIN environment variable and continue
blissfully
ignorant. ;-) Of course, there are all sorts of great features of Cygwin
available to those on NT-based platforms using "ntsec". But the choice is
yours. IMO, it's worth a little pain now to set things up properly w.r.t.
"ntsec". I did it years ago and haven't regretted it since.
Methinks this will become an entry in the FAQ. ;-)

Subject: Problem with cygwin 1.3.13-2
Running cygwin on Win2K. Downloaded
cygwin-1.3.13-2
libreadline5-4.3-2
readline-4.3-2
texinfo-4.2-4
and installed them this morning. Tried to add a new tool file to CVS, with
the following result:
$ cvs commit -m"Checkpoint" gdlutil.py
"RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/SecurVision/tools/gdlutil.py,v
done
cvs commit: WARNING: cannot change mode of file
/usr/local/cvsroot/SecurVision/tools/gdlutil.py,v: Invalid argument
"ls -altr" of the corresponding $CVSROOT directory showed unexpected user
names (e.g., "1840" instead of "Administ"), even on old files that have
always belonged to "Adminst".
Reverted all of the updates to their previous versions and successfully
retried the CVS operation.
Reinstalled the newest versions of
libreadline5-4.3-2
readline-4.3-2
texinfo-4.2-4
(but NOT of cygwin-1.3.13-2) and repeated the CVS operation successfully.
