New FAQ entry about permissions since Cygwin 1.7.34

[Ken Brown]

There have been several recent threads on the cygwin list stemming from 
the permissions change in 1.7.34.  I've pointed people to the FAQ about 
ssh public key authentication, which is not the first place where 
someone with this problem is likely to look.  The following patch 
attempts to remedy this:

+<answer>
+
+<para>The problem is exactly the same as with the key files of SSH.  See
+<xref linkend="faq.using.ssh-pubkey-stops-working"/>.</para>
+
+<para>The solution is the same:</para>
+
+<screen>
+  $ ls -l *
+  -rw-rwxr--+ 1 user group 42 Nov 12  2010 file1
+  -rw-rwxr--+ 1 user group 42 Nov 12  2010 file2
+  $ setfacl -b *
+  $ ls -l *
+  -rw-r--r--  1 user group 42 Nov 12  2010 file1
+  -rw-r--r--  1 user group 42 Nov 12  2010 file2
+</screen>
+
+<para>You may find that newly-created files also have unexpected
+permissions:</para>
+
+<screen>
+  $ touch foo
+  $ ls -l foo
+  -rw-rwxr--+ 1 user group 42 Nov 12  2010 foo
+</screen>
+
+<para>This probably means that the directory in which you're creating
+the files has unwanted default ACL entries that are inherited by
+newly-created files and subdirectories.  The solution is again the
+same:</para>
+
+<screen>
+  $ setfacl -b .
+  $ touch bar
+  $ ls -l bar
+  -rw-r--r--  1 user group 42 Nov 12  2010 bar
