cygwin CHMOD CHOWN problem.

[siddug]

Hi,
 I Tried to do CHMOD and CHOWN on some of my files but the permissions are not changing. may i know the reason?

below given is a small log:

[SUBTLE]~$ touch try
[SUBTLE]~$ chmod -v 755 try
mode of `try' changed to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
[SUBTLE]~$ ls -l 
total 0
-rw-r--r--    1 siddug   544             0 Sep  9 00:36 try
[SUBTLE]~$ 

Can u give me suggestions?
I wanna know why it's happening like that?

I tried somethings like adding more users in /etc/passwd or /etc/group

In anticipation,
Regards,
Sidd
