While using NTFS and setting CYGWIN=ntea, group permissions
on files are not being reported correctly.
A given file has granted "full access control" to everyone and still
shows up as -rw-r--r--
Thus, a "test -w" fails on a file that is perfectly writable by me.
Is this a known problem or does anyone know of some more
documentation I should be reading?
