Newly created files and directories lack write permission even for the owner. Here's some relevant stuff from my Cygwin shell window: ----------------- ~ % umask 0022 ~ % touch x ~ % ll x -rw-rw-r--+ 1 barry None 0 Apr 15 18:13 x ~ % ll . drwxrwx---+ 1 barry None 0 Apr 15 18:13 ./ ~ % cd bin ~/bin % ll . drwxr-xr-x+ 1 barry None 0 Apr 15 18:12 ./ ~/bin % touch x ~/bin % ll x -r--r--r--+ 1 barry None 0 Apr 15 18:13 x ~/bin % ----------------- If I create a file in my home directory, the file permissions come out correct. But if I create a file in my bin directory, the file permissions are wrong -- write permission is missing, even for the owner (me). This is x86 cygwin on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 -- On Beta, we'd have earrings for that.
