I have noticed that in many cases when listing files with ls there is a
+ at the end of the permissions. What does this mean? It seems to be
related to some problems I am having with file access from windows
programs after the files have been modified by emacs in a cygwin session.

example:

-rwx------+ 1 user1 Aucun 3063892 Jan 20 2009 agent.exe
-rwx------ 1 user1 Aucun 821 Aug 13 02:16 config.xml
-rwx------+ 1 user1 Aucun 569 Jan 20 2009 config.xml~

It means that there are extra permissions set on the file, in the windows ACL, that cannot meaningfully be expressed in terms of user/group/other read/write/execute. You can take a look at the file's properties in windows explorer to see what they are, or use the 'cacls' (windows native) or 'getfacl' (cygwin) command-line utilities to examine them.

    cheers,
