NUMBER ONE:  Please read this entry in the cygwin acronym list and do what
it asks.

Every single time you reply to someone on this list, you cause them to
receive more spam because you don't remove their email address from the text
of the reply.  Please stop doing this as it is an annoying inconvenience.


> How to check the permissions and change them?

  Do you know what the 'ls' and 'chmod' commands do?
