In directory /cygwin/bin of my cygwin installation, $ ls -l //yields: [snip] -rwxr-xr-x 1 lowella Administrators 73742 Nov 14 2010 zsyncmake.exe
and $ ls -ln //yields [snip] -rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 544 73742 Nov 14 2010 zsyncmake.exe and $ stat -c '%A %a %n' * //yields: [snip] -rwxr-xr-x 755 zsyncmake.exe all quite consistent and pretty much as expected. NB: zsyncmake.exe is the last file listed from /bin. However, $ getfacl -a zsyncmake.exe //yields: # file: zsyncmake.exe # owner: lowella # group: Administrators user::rwx group::--- mask:rwx other:r-x Why does getfacl give "group::---" instead of "group::r-x" as appears in the ls and stat listings? Is this a bug in getfacl? Incidentally, any file from /bin that gets 'getfacled' shows the same problem.
