In noacl mode or on file systems not supporting ACLs (FAT, for instance) permissions are emulated using the DOS R/O bit to set the write flag and file suffixes and magic numbers to emulate the execute bit. That's what you see above. That's actually documented in the User's Guide: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-filemodes.html > Sorry, in reading your previous explanations (quoted below), I am > still not sure whether you are saying this new behavior is a feature > or bug in cygwin, a bug in my app using cygwin (e.g., svn) something > changed in windows setup of permissions. Just to put it here (since > thread has become separated) here is what you said previously: It's a bug in 1.7.9 that you can't create files in this scenario. It's fixed in CVS. It's not a bug in 1.7.9, nor in CVS, that an application gets a "Permission denied" error when it tries to change file permissions in this scenario.
