I wonder why this should be a problem. The file does exist on my system and it should be readable and executable to groups root and SYSTEM:
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32 $ ls -l winmm.dll -rwxrwx---+ 2 ???????? ???????? 194048 Nov 20 2010 winmm.dll $ getfacl winmm.dll # file: winmm.dll # owner: ???????? # group: ???????? user::rwx group::rwx group:root:r-x group:SYSTEM:r-x group:Users:r-x mask:rwx other:--- $ Perhaps I should add explicit ACLs for users SYSTEM and cyg_server?

I think it has been discussed before but I am not sure if there is a solution. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
