Cygwin file permission issues

2010-06-30 Thread Derek Greer
I've run into a Cygwin permissions issue that I haven't been able to resolve by looking through past discussions. When a file file or folder is created by a user under cygwin, it isn't adhering to the permissions inherited by parent folders. Based on the parent folder, any folders and files
