I don't like the idea to change these permissions.  This is
actually unlikely to help.  Especially what's the reasoning
to change group membership to SYSTEM?  The below permissions

are perfectly fine.  What irritates me is the "seen on UNIX"
and "seen inside ssh session".  What does that mean?  From the
cygcheck output I would think the home dir is on the local NTFS
drive C:.  So how can you see anything from UNIX?  You know that
the permission translation between UNIX and NT via Samba doesn't
work flawlessly, don't you?  Could you please enlighten us what
the above wording is trying to say?  And especially interesting
are the permissions on these files seen in a *local* NT session
on that very machine you're trying to connect via ssh.
