cygwin file permissions change after installation



Hi,


Am I supposed to make any changes to certain files's permissions after installing Cygwin? I installed Cygwin (ver 1.5.18-1) and noticed that many websites suggesting changing certain files' permissions to system:system. This installation was on Windows XP computer.

I ask because I noticed that sshd.log file is still empty (0 bytes). Is this normal?
$ ls -al /var/log/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root None 277380 Dec 1 16:23 /var/log/lastlog
-rw-r--r-- 1 root None 1141262 Dec 1 00:30 /var/log/setup.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root None 331 Dec 1 00:30 /var/log/setup.log.full
-rw-r--r-- 1 root None 0 Dec 1 01:37 /var/log/sshd.log
$ ls -anl /var/log/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 1004 513 277380 Dec 1 16:23 /var/log/lastlog
