- Subject: permissions on dir are incorrectly ordered windows 7 and cygwin
Hi,
I have new Windows 7 machine with cygwin. I am running into some odd
permission problems. When I edit files with windows emacs in a cygwin
folder (c:/cygwin/home/username), the files end up with the execute bit
on something like this: -rwxrwxr-x
If I run explorer on the directory, and look at the properties security
tab, a pop up window says:
"The permissions on dir are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some
entries to be ineffective."
This happened a week ago or so, and windows offered to reorder to fix
the problem. I let it do so, and the problem was fixed. However, the
problem is now back. I think it comes back when I run the cygwin setup
program. The post install script seems to be causing the problem.
Files create in cygwin honor the umask and seem to be fine. It is just
windows programs editing files in the cygwin directories that are the
problem.
Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid this issue? Does anyone have an
explanation as to what is going on here? Thanks in advance.
-Bill
