Since windows has no concept of owner/group/mode what would one have chmod do on those systems? I have never used it there but assume that it must have cygwin emulated behavior or something. It is probably a noop so that scripts don't fail just for that reason. Here is a stock repy.

The hard work the Cygwin team has put in to developing the GNU Project on Windows is greatly admired. However the GNU team generally uses GNU Operating Systems and do not have access to Cygwin systems or MS-Windows systems which means that most of us can't help you. It would be most appreciated if you would make your bug report directly to the Cygwin folks. They are the experts and best suited to handle your problem. http://cygwin.com/ Cygwin Home Page http://cygwin.com/faq/ Cygwin FAQ. Most excellent! http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Cygwin Bug Report Guidelines. This is a good reference for general bug reporting. _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
