If you're using NTFS, and changing CYGWIN=ntsec (the default) to CYGWIN=nontsec solves a problem with file permissions, then there is something else going on. Normally, if the filesystem on your disk(s) is NTFS then you want CYGWIN=ntsec in order to get the UNIX-like file permissions. > -- > =================================================================== > David M.
