Dear Robert:

s and t are usual from Posix and Cygwin tries to come as close to Posix as it can under Windows.  s 
is for setuid/setgid and t is the "sticky" bit.  The + indicates that there
are more refined access modes present.

You might want to read up on ls, chmod, getfacl, etc.

What _can_ get funky and confusing is the mapping from Windows ACLs to what Cygwin
reports and Cygwin's manipulation of ACLs.  There is online Cygwin documentation about that as well.

None of this is new.  Maybe something changed the file permissions, and now they show up this way 
for you?  Not sure what your real question is ...

Best wishes - Eliot Moss
