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?
Why not? I don't have a clue about how cygwin interacts with the windows permission system, but if someone else does, more power to them. So long as things don't get too out of hand, we've never had a list police here that I'm aware of. People ask all sorts of questions here and usually get a workable answer, that's one of the reasons I love this list
