I am a member of the local administrators. It actually sounds like noacl is what we would want here. We are just using Cygwin shell as a basis for our build environment for ease of portability, but we're using Visual Studio etc, not building Cygwin executables. Not sure why I would actually want posix permissions for what we're doing.
For one thing, stats and the like can be slower since things like executable permissions have to be determined by inspection. But there are other mount flags that can help with that. So, there are trade-offs.
Noacl certainly fixed the problem, however it would be good to understand why it happens. In your attempt to reproduce, what does he getfacl show for the root /cygdrive/c directory? That seemed to be where the issue lay. Not sure whether what I see is to be expected.
Yeah, sorry. I glossed over that. $ getfacl / # file: / # owner: lhall # group: ???????? user::--- group::--- group:root:rwx group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:r-x mask:rwx other:--- default:user::--- default:group::--- default:group:root:rwx default:group:SYSTEM:rwx default:group:Users:r-x default:mask:rwx default:other:--- The group ownership is fine. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
