AFAIK there is no such proven method per default, means automaticaly
done by setup.exe for example.
But at http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-perms.asp you will find a script
which at least modifies the permissions for ntsec for all
directories below ~ /etc and /.
You can download the script and very easily modify it so it operates
on additional directories too.
Does this help?,

How would one go about doing a fresh install on NTFS, whether it be NT or
2000, and use the ntsec option of CYGWIN properly, without having to
immediately change file and directory permissions throughout?
IOW, is there a proven method to install Cygwin and get a proper filesystem
tree with permissions on text files, configuration files, and executable
scripts set similar to a typical UNIX filesystem? And also have proper
permission manipulation within cygwin.
