it seems that file ownership is often not displayed correctly. for example,
if
i'm user1 and i type "ls -l" in directory /home , the system says that ALL
user
directories belong to user1 . note that user1 need NOT be an administrator.
but
cygwin seems to obey the access permissions consistent with the correct
ownership. for example, user1 can't cd into the directory /home/user2 even
though the ls command says that that directory belongs to user1.
what explains this behavior? is it a bug or some peculiarity of the
software?

You might want to review the FAQ and the User's Guide on permissions, etc.
If you still have a question then, send it to the list with details on
what you're doing, what you're seeing, what you think it wrong, and the
output of cygcheck -s -r -v.
