Apparently you don't seem to understand the concept of NTFS security
and _why_ it's set that way after switching ntsec on. Besides the
Microsoft documentation read http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html.
Thinko: When Cygwin has been installed using no security settings at

It could depend on the developer of the application, too, not only
on the developer of the underlying system...
