Re: File permissions cygwin install

setup.exe creates the files with Windows default permissions. Usually those are determined by the inheritable permissions of the
parent directory in which you install the Cygwin directory.

Setup is a plain Win32 application which doesn't know about POSIX perms.

OK, this is known. But...


Is it supposed to be that way on Cygwin [1]?

Or we can adopt some workaround?

For example on Linux:
   drwxr-xr-x  3 root root    0 Jul  4 13:52 home

and similar for /lib, /usr...

While on Cygwin:
   drwxrwxrwx+  3 Administrator  Users 0 Jul  4 13:52 home


It should be at least: drwxr-xr-x 3 Administrator Administrators 0 Jul 4 13:52 home


or not?



Cheers, Angelo.
