Certainly.  If this doesn't work for you by default, read the user doc and
FAQ's w.r.t to chmod and security/permissions.  The short answer is that 
this will work as expected on NT only and only if you set ntsec and/or ntea
on your CYGWIN environment variable.  The docs give the details of these 
changes and why you may or may not want to exercise these options.
