After having read the FAQ and setting CYGWIN to "ntsec tty", chmod still
does not change file permissions on my Windows XP system.  I've created
/etc/passwd and /etc/group as follows:

mkpasswd --local --domain > /etc/passwd
mkgroup --local --domain > /etc/group

My system configuration is:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Cygwin 1.5.5-1

What am I overlooking?

Thanks,

Derek
