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.
This is just stating the obvious. Try reading the question. It was not how to display the bit but how to change it.
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
Going through the setfacl help I see not command the works. setfacl -s file returns illegal AOL entries error do you know any setfacl command that will take -rw-rw-rw-+ 1 dog wheel 75633 Aug 24 2004 qtvoke.exe to -rw-rw-rw- 1 dog wheel 75633 Aug 24 2004 qtvoke.exe And thank you for the real help john
