I have an old cygwin install that I was upgrading to the latest 1.5. I find that the files in /bin are mode 700 rather than 750 on my other installations. The setup.exe is set to "All Users" although perhaps some time in the dark past it might not have been.
This means that users other than the one installing cygwin can't use it. Is there some magic to make that work properly?
Did you try "chmod 750 /bin"?
It must be some weird inheritance of permissions thing in Windows that doesn't exist on POSIX. Quite a mystery though.
