Hi,all
I installed cygwin under win2k operation system.
Now I have some problem with using command "chown" to change the ownship of 
a directory.

lufang AT kaguya ~
$ chown -R cvsuser1:cvsgroup1 /home/lufang/repo

lufang AT kaguya ~
$ ls  -lg /home/lufang
total 16
dr-xr-xr-x    7 lufang   None            0 Mar  1 19:42 repo
-r--r--r--    1 lufang   None         3733 Feb 27 21:50 rh_opt.gdt
-r--r--r--    1 lufang   None        11507 Feb 27 21:50 rh_opt.gpr
lrwxrwxrwx    1 lufang   None           94 Feb 14 03:21 vi -> vim.exe

lufang AT kaguya ~
$ ls -lg /home/lufang/repo
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x    3 lufang   None            0 Mar  1 19:42 CVSROOT
dr-xr-xr-x    2 lufang   None            0 Mar 26 21:03 operation-manual

dr-xr-xr-x    4 lufang   None            0 Mar 26 20:56 source-code
dr-xr-xr-x    2 lufang   None            0 Mar 26 21:01 technical-report

As you can see, I have changed the owner to cvsuser1 by "chown" command, but 
it displyed that the owner is still "lufang".

And I find that if I login to the cygwin as another user "user1", the owner 
of this directory automatically changed into the "user1". Why does this 
heppen? It seems that the command "chown" has nothing effect here.

Can anyone help? Thanks alot!

Lu Fang
