When I type the following sequence of commands:
cd ~; mkdir sample; chmod -R 0700 sample; stat -c "%a %u %g" sample;
rm -rf sample; mkdir sample; chmod -R 0755 sample; stat -c "%a %u %g"
sample
the output is:
770 1001 513
775 1001 513
Why is chmod not working?
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
Cygwin Setup.exe Version: 2.831 (32-bit)
That looks fine to me.
What do you expect?
Presumably because when the OP asked for 700 he got 770, and when
he asked for 755 he got 775.
The groups magically changing reminds me of the group setuid ("sticky")
bit being set. Try a "ls -ld ~" and see what's up with your home
directory. And maybe open up your home directory permissions from
Windows Explorer and see if there are special object inherit options
coming from parent directories that might be affecting it (if not using
windows pro, "cd; cacls .")
