Never said I was using Samba. Why did you assume that? /us is a mount of
//<server>/<share> but <server> is a Windows 2000 Server box. There is
no Samba involved.
Yes my passwd and group files are up to date (they are symlinks to
global passwd and group files that I maintain).

In the Permission Entry dialog box (under Security: Advanced) I see
things like Read Attributes, Read Extended Attributes, Take Ownership.
What do these relate to WRT Unix permissions?
I also see things like "Create Files / Write Data" and "Create Folders /
Append Data". Now if we equate "Create Files / Write Data" to +w I guess
that would make sense. However what if I allowed "Create Folders /
Append Data" but didn't allow "Create Files / Write Data"?!? I would
think, from a Windows perspective, that I could create a folder or open
a file for append access yet Cygwin would not show any +w on any of the
files. It's these sorts of things that still confuse me even after
reading the above reference.
