Re: Cygwin installation a permissions of /home...

I have noticed that after installing Cygwin, /home has the following permissions:

drwxrwxrwx+ 4 Administrator Administrators 0 Mar 18 17:52 home

and in /home

drwxrwxrwx+  Administrator Administrators  0 Mar 18 22:49 Administrator
drwxrwxrwx+  pippo         Users           0 Mar 19 23:51 pippo

Should all these dirs have all these perms (drwxrwxrwx)?

On GNU/Linux Kubuntu 7.10:

drwxr-xr-x root root   0 Mar 18 17:52 home
drwxr-xr-x pippo pippo 0 Mar 18 17:52 home/pippo

cygwin doesn't over-ride Windows. Windows has very different default permissions, compared to linux.
Did you try this with various Windows memberships for pippo?
