OK, what was the command you were using to change the permissions?
Perhaps it would be good for you to post a sample of what you tried and
what the result was. The output of cygcheck -s -r -v may also be useful.
Running the same problem command under 'strace' may show something too.

You cannot use 'login' to login to Cygwin. If you're curious as to the
details of this, you can look at the email archives. This has been discussed
there before, even as recently as last week. If you really want to do this,
you should install and configure OpenSSH. It will allow you to do this. I
*HIGHLY* recommend that you return your cygwin.bat file back to its original
state. There's no benefit to having it otherwise (and such a change really
makes problems with your installation something that this list can't help you
with).
