Hi, I have new Windows 7 machine with cygwin. I am running into some odd permission problems. When I edit files with windows emacs in a cygwin folder (c:/cygwin/home/username), the files end up with the execute bit on something like this: -rwxrwxr-x If I run explorer on the directory, and look at the properties security tab, a pop up window says: "The permissions on dir are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some entries to be ineffective." This happened a week ago or so, and windows offered to reorder to fix the problem. I let it do so, and the problem was fixed. However, the problem is now back. I think it comes back when I run the cygwin setup program. The post install script seems to be causing the problem. Files create in cygwin honor the umask and seem to be fine. It is just windows programs editing files in the cygwin directories that are the problem. Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid this issue? Does anyone have an explanation as to what is going on here? Thanks in advance. -Bill -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
