And up until now, the cygwin behavior was OK with me. I must say (a somewhat big inconvenience but I didn't complain) that I routinely chmod 644 all new files created by non-cygwin apps (say new files downloaded with Mozilla). That's why I asked earlier if there's an easy way to enforce file permissions 644 for any newly created file. Maybe through Windows but then what would be the right corresponding Windows permissions to ensure them? It's important for me that the files I care for are in Group Users as my use case on this box is a Debian/Windows 7 dual-boot. I have a UserMapping file for drives D: and E: to try to get consistent ownership on both. Another inconvenience right now is that the Group given to newly created files from non-cygwin apps (again, one example is a Mozilla downloaded file, another one is a Gimp newly created file) seems to be None instead of Users for cygwin apps. I routinely chgrp them. Is there a way to make sure that they belong to the Users group from the start?
