Advise please.

First an interesting story.  Just reinstalled operating system and 
cygwin after the system became badly corrupted.  May have at least 
partly been related to replacing the old cygwin1.dll with the new 
snapshot.  Thought that I had closed all cygwin apps first but forgot 
that cygipc had been installed as a service to allow PostgreSQL to run.  
Don't forget the services when upgrading the DLL.

Now the question.  After reinstalling cygwin all the directories have 
700 permissions. Is this the correct setting or not after an 
installation?  I noticed that changing the Windows XP security setting 
from read-only to read-write does not effect the cygwin permissions on 
the directory.  Should it?

Thanks.
