I saw Corinna Vinschen's posting

http://lists-archives.org/cygwin/30817-file-permission-hassles-on-vista.html

>  Vista, these attributes give the file a 'shared' property, which adds a

Sorry, I can't reproduce this.


I got this problem when I created a TAR file (on a Windows XP machine), 
and un-TARed it on Vista.  I'm glad I found your helpful posting so I 
can fix my /etc/passwd before I un-TAR some other TARs!
