chmod with no influence

[Ingo Affa]

Hi,

I'm using a cygwin bash shell on a Windows 2000 Server
and have problems changing the file access permissions:

address@hidden ~
$ ls -l .netrc
-rw-r--r--    1 Administ Administ      130 Nov 14 11:59 .netrc

address@hidden ~
$ chmod -v 600 .netrc
mode of `.netrc' changed to 0600 (rw-------)

address@hidden ~
$ ls -l .netrc
-rw-r--r--    1 Administ Administ      130 Nov 14 11:59 .netrc


On the Windows environment a tested with different constellations
for the file properties but nothing works.
Is this a bug or a mistake by me?

Thank you very much
