I set up a telnet server on the NT/4 box and didn't want anything but me 
in the /etc/passwd file so only I could log in.
(As I understood it from the various descriptions on the web on how to do 
this, removing everyone but me is a good security measure under Cygwin, 
isn't it?

Learn something every day :)

However, shouldn't the -E option have changed the mode of the "world" 
file? My mount table shows "noexec" for /home and "world" is still 
executable - as is the "doe" file I just created with Explorer, but not 
the "john" file I `touch`ed.
"treat all files under mountpoint as non-executable" (manpage for mount) 
leads me to believe this may be a bug.

umask works fine, by the way: set to 022, "john" appeared read-only for 
everyone but me.

Ciao,
