I've read through the various permission documents

figuring this one out. Hopefully it is very simple.
I have an old cygwin install that I was upgrading
to the latest 1.5. I find that the files in /bin
are mode 700 rather than 750 on my other installations.
The setup.exe is set to "All Users" although perhaps
some time in the dark past it might not have been.
This means that users other than the one installing
cygwin can't use it. Is there some magic to make that
work properly?
Did you try "chmod 750 /bin"?
