Hi,
Wanted to check to see if you were aware of this permissions bug when
using Cygwin in Windows 8:
http://superuser.com/questions/397288/using-cygwin-in-windows-8-chmod-600-does-not-work-as-expected
something like this will change the default group from
513=none to 543=Users
cat /etc/passwd | sed -e "s/:513:/:543:" > new_passwd

I was hoping I could run chgrp and chmod like the workaround
described, but chgrp only works if the full Cygwin is installed on
your system. We bundle several of the Cygwin utilities (rsync.exe,
cypath.exe, ssh.exe, ssh-keygen.exe) in with our application rather
than forcing users to install Cygwin. This had been working for all
Windows versions up until Windows 8.
Do you know when a fix would be available?
a workaround was already available on first link you provided
chgrp -R Users ~/.ssh
Cleared things up with the licensing folks. We'll be updating our
terms and linking to the proper source files shortly.
Any ideas regarding the above question?
