chmod not working on Win98


When I installed fetchmail-6.2.2.1, fetchmail started refusing to
use my .fetchmailrc. I think the requirement that permissions be
600 on it is new.

However when I tried chmodding it to 600, it stays at 644

$ ls -al .fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r--    1 greg     unknown       864 Feb 17 06:54 .fetchmailrc

greg at 7106 ~
$ umask 000

greg at 7106 ~
$ chmod 600 .fetchmailrc

greg at 7106 ~
$ ls -al .fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r--    1 greg     unknown       864 Feb 17 06:54 .fetchmailrc

greg at 7106 ~
$ umask 777

greg at 7106 ~
$ chmod 600 .fetchmailrc

$ ls -al .fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r--    1 greg     unknown       864 Feb 17 06:54 .fetchmailrc
