File permissions on samba network share

Dear fellow Cygwinners, I use Cygwin to work on a samba network drive and am unable to execute bash scripts from there because "bash: ./amssetup: Permission denied". I think this is due to the missing owner/group info: $ ls -l amssetup -rwxrw 1 1014 2009-12-15 14:16 amssetup

1.7.1<->1.7.2 binary compatibility

changing setup executable

This question is more for my personal curiosity than any problem I'm having. I've noticed that setup.exe has been updated several times recently and I'm curious as to whats in setup that would need to be changed. I understood setup-legacy when we switched from 1.5 to 1.7 As far as I know, setup.

Cygwin doesn't install gcc even though I select it

When using "setup.exe" to install cygwin, I select "gcc: C compile upgrade helper" from the category devel in the package menu. However, when I then check in my cygwin bin folder there is no "gcc", although there is "gcc-3.exe". I cannot use the gcc command in cygwin "bash: gcc command not found".
