You tried the /etc/group tweak as I suggested in my latest mail in that
thread, I take it?

Thanks for the info.  I found a really dumb bug in my code.  The
access() function is using a Windows function for access checking under
the hood.  To account for the Samba account mapping in Cygwin, there's
a function converting the S-1-22-x-y SIDs in the file's ACL to Windows
SIDs if there *is* a mapping.  But I made a small mistake which has
a big result: The ACL is not completly copied over, thus the Windows
function has to deal with an incomplete ACL.

I fixed that in the git repo and uploaded new snapshots to
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/  Please give them a try.  Don't use the
snapshots for anything else for the time being!

  PLEASE TEST ASAP AND REPORT BACK!

  I'll be unavailable for a few weeks starting tomorrow, so I'd like to
  do a bugfix Cygwin release, preferredly today, if this patch works as
  desired.


Thanks,
Corinna


P.S.: As a side-note: While this patch (hopefully) reverts this code to
      work as pre-1.7.34, it seems that the internal Windows access
      check function is not quite up to the task for Samba shares in
      scenarios as John's one.  It will always report back the access of
      the "others" part of POSIX permission bits.  Only with the new
      mapping of S-1-22-x-y SIDs to real WIndows accounts, or with
      winbindd-supported mapping, the Windows access check will really
      work as desired.
