If the SIDs for the files don't match any of the current user on the current system, then the POSIX permissions will be set to 000. So I believe the question is, what does it mean to "externally" generate the files? > Also, is it intended for my user account to have its primary group be > 'None'? Yes. This seems to be a favorite group of Windows. ;-) > I am using cygwin 1.7 on Windows 7 Ultimate. Should I be running in > compatibility mode? Should I install as administrator? I believe I installed with "Run as Administrator" on my W7 Ultamite home install, which has "None" as my primary group and where I don't see the problem you do. On the work machine, it's W7 Enterprise, though I don't think that's significant. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
