Derek,

I did not have a file permissions problem relating to chmod.  The chmod
command has always worked fine for me.  The problem I had related to file
permissions in the CVS repository.  I have not upgraded to cygwin 1.5.5,
however.  Have you tried using the getfacl and setfacl commands?  Does a ls
command indicate that chmod has made changes and they are not reflected in
windows?  I am not sure exactly what problem you are seeing with chmod.
Probably you should attach the output of  cygcheck.

Mark:

Find any new solutions to your Cygwin file permission problem on Windows
XP?  On my Cygwin and Windows XP system, chmod refuses to change any
file permissions, even with CYGWIN="ntsec tty".  I have also recreated
/etc/passwd and /etc/group with

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

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Derek
