setup.exe creates the files with Windows default permissions.
Usually those are determined by the inheritable permissions of the
parent directory in which you install the Cygwin directory.
Setup is a plain Win32 application which doesn't know about POSIX perms.
OK, this is known. But...
Is it supposed to be that way on Cygwin [1]?
Or we can adopt some workaround?
For example on Linux:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Jul 4 13:52 home
and similar for /lib, /usr...
While on Cygwin:
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 Administrator Users 0 Jul 4 13:52 home
It should be at least:
drwxr-xr-x 3 Administrator Administrators 0 Jul 4 13:52 home
or not?
Cheers,
Angelo.
