chmod not working on Windows XP

- Subject: chmod not working on Windows XP
After having read the FAQ and setting CYGWIN to "ntsec tty", chmod still
does not change file permissions on my Windows XP system. I've created
/etc/passwd and /etc/group as follows:
mkpasswd --local --domain > /etc/passwd
mkgroup --local --domain > /etc/group
My system configuration is:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Cygwin 1.5.5-1
What am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Derek
