Re: 1.7: cygdrive files readonly by default

Is there a setting or issue that would result in all externally

I need to chmod every external file I want to modify.
If the SIDs for the files don't match any of the current user on the
current system, then the POSIX permissions will be set to 000. So I
believe the question is, what does it mean to "externally" generate the
files?
Also, is it intended for my user account to have its primary group be
'None'?
Yes. This seems to be a favorite group of Windows. ;-)
I am using cygwin 1.7 on Windows 7 Ultimate. Should I be running in
compatibility mode? Should I install as administrator?
I believe I installed with "Run as Administrator" on my W7 Ultamite home
install, which has "None" as my primary group and where I don't see the
problem you do. On the work machine, it's W7 Enterprise, though I don't
think that's significant.
