I am having a problem limiting, from cygwin, the permissions on a bash script so that only the owner can execute it. I finally after much fiddling figured out that with the shebang line in the script, cygwin immediately thinks it's executable by all. If I try any chmod affecting it's executable status, it's ignored. How can I work around this? Also, how can this be worked around on Win9x also, as it is planned to eventually distribute this script set. Thanks, David Monk CCNA.
