Are you asking a Cygwin question here?
If so, the answer is that there are permissions on that file that do not map within the scheme Cygwin uses to equate Unix-style permissions to Windows equivalents / counterparts.
Use the "getfacl" command to see full Windows permission information.
All comments welcome
OK...
From now on, you should ask Cygwin questions on the Cygwin list.
Please, this is hardly cygwin specific. If you use setfacl to set an access control list on a file or directory you will see that + too. It just means there are more permissions than the standard rwxrwxrwx model has room for. It applies to linux as well
Go back and read his question. He's running on Windows. Why did he even think a SuSE list would have the answer to the question? In this case, there does happen to be considerable overlap, but in general there's a lot of stuff on Cygwin that is strictly a idiosyncratic to that environment. Should we be entertaining all such questions just because the Gnu tools happen to run on both SuSE and Cygwin? Randall Schulz
