Adding "nontsec" to CYGWIN restores the old behavior for permission inheritance. A doc suggestion: I did happen across the ntsec page in the user manual before posting, and I see now that it does mention the "ntsec" option, but it is easily missed and perhaps this could be made a little more prominent. (Have a section on configuration with a link to the CYGWIN options page.) Also, I see that even the old behavior doesn't mimick Windows exactly: the file owner isn't "Administrator". But it's good enough. - Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
