Hi,
when I use 'cp -R' to copy files, I can't access to the target file (I
have no permission on the target files)
I reproduce this problem with a fresh install of windows 7 and cygwin
my account is a user account (not admin)
from a DOS box, I create c:\test\d1\d2\test.txt
C:\>md test
C:\>cd test
C:\test>md d1
C:\test>md d1\d2
C:\test>echo test > d1\d2\test.txt
from the cygwin console
$ cd /cygdrive/c/test/
patrick@WIN-K396JDQPSD0 /cygdrive/c/test
$ ll

# Why cygwin doesn't display posix permissions ?
#
patrick@WIN-K396JDQPSD0 /cygdrive/c/test
$ cat d1/d2/test.txt
test
#
# I have no permission on d1/d2/test.txt, but I can 'CAT' it
#
#
# now, I copy the ./d1/* to ./win
#
patrick@WIN-K396JDQPSD0 /cygdrive/c/test
$ mkdir sub
patrick@WIN-K396JDQPSD0 /cygdrive/c/test
$ cp -R d1/* sub/
#
# no more posix file permission
#
patrick@WIN-K396JDQPSD0 /cygdrive/c/test
$ ll sub/

$ ll sub/d2/

patrick@WIN-K396JDQPSD0 /cygdrive/c/test
$ cat sub/d2/test.txt
cat: sub/d2/test.txt: Permission denied
#
# but now I can acces the file from cygwin
#
I return to the DOS box
C:\test>type sub\d2\test.txt
Access is denied.
I can't read the file from windows
Of course, I have no problem with cygwin with my XP computer
Any idea ?
