And, don't you think I checked this before responding? On MY system, setting CYGWIN=nontsec causes the executable bits to disappear. My next theory is that you may be setting CYGWIN=nontsec directly in bash or something. You have to set CYGWIN=nontsec prior to starting a cygwin process. Please provide the exact details of what you are doing, along with cygcheck -r -s -v output as an attachment. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
