Hi. The permission bits are implemented as normal Window's DACLs
(Discretionary Access List). +s is implemented magically with the
NULL SID. You can view it from Explorer or with icacls. Try
checking the return code (echo $?) from chmod. Also try changing
perms from Explorer. You might not be able to set the NULL SID for
some reason.
I'd like to add that, for good reason, the Cygwin DACLs do not conform
to the order of entries that some Windows tools prefer. Don't let any
Windows program/tool reorder the DACLs! It will break the Cygwin
functionality, and the Cygwin order does not break Windows functionality.
Right. My experience (Windows 10) is that I cannot change perms from
Explorer if I don't let them reorder the perms (which I do not).
I have been separated from the machine that exhibits the problem, so I
have not been able to try the solutions suggested, but expect to have it
back in a week or so.
