Yes, recent Cygwin versions (sometime after 1.3.18) has a chmod() bug:

What Cygwin version are you using?

AFAICT, chmod() on sockets has no affect:

    $ ls -l /tmp/.afunix
    srwx------    1 jt       Domain U        0 Mar 19 15:57 /tmp/.afunix
    $ chmod 0777 .afunix
    $ ls -l /tmp/.afunix
    srwx------    1 jt       Domain U        0 Mar 19 15:57 /tmp/.afunix

How did you get chmod to work?
