install permissions

[Michael Labhard]

Advise please.

First an interesting story. Â Just reinstalled operating system and 
cygwin after the system became badly corrupted. Â May have at least 
partly been related to replacing the old cygwin1.dll with the new 
snapshot. Â Thought that I had closed all cygwin apps first but forgot 
that cygipc had been installed as a service to allow PostgreSQL to run. Â 
Don't forget the services when upgrading the DLL.

Now the question. Â After reinstalling cygwin all the directories have 
700 permissions. Is this the correct setting or not after an 
installation? Â I noticed that changing the Windows XP security setting 
from read-only to read-write does not effect the cygwin permissions on 
the directory. Â Should it?

Thanks.
