dumb question

To the list:

I am dealing with a primary Fedora machine and a alternate WinXP under 
cygwin. Cygwin always screw up the permissions when I drag stuff over to 
it and then bring it back to the Fedora box. I've got scripts to handle 
making things right again.

But I did have a question which I didn't find out from Googling (as I 
suspect I didn't know how to phrase it). On a Fedora/Linux box, do 
Makefile/makefile (s) have to be set to +x? Or can they be just "rw-r--r--"?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
