  Just checking.  Windoze tools don't generally do the right thing for
cygwin's emulation of posix perms.

  I want to throw an AYS in Corinna's general direction here... one of the
ongoing problems in 'doze security since waaaay back when is that the default
perms for user-created files, the equivalent of the default umask under posix,
have always been pretty wide open: AYS they haven't been tightened up for
Vista?

  Heh, so that's a bit like saying "The only things that are different are
everything, apart from the gcc source code".

  So, what tool did you use to 'modify' it?


    cheers,
