With recent snapshots I note the following.
If I, as user 'Graziosi' with no admin. permission, create a file
'foo.txt' (for example with emacs) I can see:
$ ls -lrt foo.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 Graziosi Users 728 Mar 21 17:30 foo.txt
^^^
If I, succesively, do a login as Administrator, then I see:
$ ls -lrt
-rw-r--r-- 1 Graziosi Administrators 728 Mar 21 17:30 foo.txt
^^^
In Windows (W2K SP4) the user Graziosi has been created as
User Name Group
Graziosi Users
while Administrator has been created as
Administrator Administrators
(this results from Start | Settings | Users and password)
In Cygwin I have
$ cat /etc/group
root:S-1-5-32-544:0:
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
Nessuno:S-1-5-21-220523388-842925246-854245398-513:513:

Backup Operators:S-1-5-32-551:551:
Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546:
Power Users:S-1-5-32-547:547:
Replicator:S-1-5-32-552:552:
Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
i.e. the original group file.
$ cat /etc/passwd
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:544:U-GRAZIOSI-IRCI53\Administrator,S-1-5

USR_GRAZIOSI-IRCI53:/bin/bash
in which I changed only
513 --> 544 for Administrator
513 --> 545 for Graziosi and ASPNET
513 --> 546 for Guest
So, foo.txt belongs to 'Users' or 'Administrators' ?
This strange behaviour happens only with file created after the
installation of recent snapshots.
A file created previously as Users belongs to Users, indifferently if one
'see' (ls) it as simple user (of group Users) or Administrator (of group
Administrators).
Cheers,
Angelo.
