Permission Problem while installing Cygwin as admin

Hello *
Problem: Cygwin is installed with very restrictive Permissions
/ and directories below have only access rights for the installing user
no one else ...
Selected was a "shared" install, not user specific
Q:
- is there any script or workaround to get correct permissiens for cygwin tree ?
-remark: i installed as a privileged user with adminprivs
but the user is a user configured on a domain controller
not as local admin.
I have all admin privileges on install host !
This seems have led to two problems:
all group perms are shown as mkgroup
all files / dirs belong to my account and have complete restrictive perms
In list mails i found as workaround: create e.g. c:cygwin before install and give
permissions to users, then install. Is there any other solution to avoid reinstall
or how can i understand the reasons ...
TIA
Micha
