What you are seeing is the current behavior, some discussion is being had about what is right to do in this situation: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-05/msg00194.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00171.html I am of the opinion that if you "touch" a file, it should not be executable under Cygwin unless you explicitly grant that permission via "chmod", "install", etc. However some are not agreeing with this and we are left with the current state. My current workaround for this is using "noacl" mounts when needed: http://github.com/svnpenn/dotfiles/blob/b8ace36/fstab This does have some drawbacks. noacl mounts will ignore any programs such as "chmod" and "install" that modify permissions. Instead files are checked for a shebang: - "#!" in the case of Bash scripts - ":" in the case of batch files Even though it is already a good idea to use a shebang, http://stackoverflow.com/q/25165808 using "noacl" forces the matter. Also using "noacl" I believe gives you less control over permissions, as I am not sure how you would even do something like setting read or write permissions. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
