 No, foo is just simply foo - also, user has write permission
 in foo's directory and I tried experimenting with variations
 on umask (007, 777, etc).

 Yes, NTFS (win2000).

 Further, like the "problem with mmap and cygwin 1.1.8" post",
 when I run a strace I get

        "geterrno_from_win_error: windows error 5 == errno 13"

 This problem is evocative of many other "Permission denied"
 posts I have seen in the mail archives. I have followed
 recommendations regards mkpasswd and tried to make sense
 of the ntsec info. I have chmod problems as well.

 Wouldn't it be nice if windoze had a /tmp equivalent where
 read-write permissions were wide open? Testing for such a
 problem would be much simplified. Is there a way Cygwin could
 create a

        drwxrwxrwx   2 nobody          4096 Apr  1 12:34 tmp/
        ^^^^^^^^^^

 as part of the install? If any of this is ridiculous, please
 flame me, I am a newbie and will take any education I can get.
