Hi,

Here is a possible solution. When I start bash through
the shortcut, the CYGWIN variable is not exported from
W2K to bash:

>From cmd.exe:
C:\>echo %CYGWIN%
export ntsec ntea

C:\>\cygwin\cygwin.bat
je734613:jme> echo $CYGWIN

je734613:jme>

In that case, the chmod & chown do not work.

If I set CYGWIN explicitely in bash as:
export CYGWIN="ntsec ntea export"
then chmod & chown work!

My 2 cents,

Jean-Marc
