By default Cygwin tries to emulate POSIX file permissions: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html You can disable this by modifying your /etc/fstab file and adding the appropriate options to cause the target locations for your files to have the necessary options: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table Specifically, you may need to modify the settings for the cygdrive mountpoint: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#cygdrive -Jeremy -- 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
