Hi all-
 I recently upgraded my cygwin to 1.3.10, and have been having problems
getting chmod to work, although i am not sure if it was broken before this
upgrade or not, i do know that i have been able to use it successfully in
the past. When i use chmod, it doesnt change the permissions. if i use 
"chmod -v ..." it reports that it has changed the permissions, but when
i do an "ls -l" afterwards, the permissions remain unchanged.

 I am running Win2k from a fat32 partition _with_ ntsec set(i know this
is only supposed to work on ntfs partitions, but it definitely used to
work). I have tried changing the ntsec to ntea, and chmod still fails
to work properly. If possible, i would like to run with ntsec, as sshd
behaves a little better with it set.

any help would be appreciated
thanks
-tim
