No, at least not as you have stated it. Please read and follow the
problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> if you
need to follow-up on this issue with the list.

Check out the documentation
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-files>. There's allot
of answers to allot of questions in here (not just your current one). It's
worth your time to read through it once (or again if you've done so before).
