Hi While installing some packages I've accidentally updated my whole cygwin from 1.7.29 to 2.1.1.
>From what I've found, around 1.7.34/35 there was some big change in ACL handling. Now, all my files and directories created in old cygwin (kernel build tree, cygwin /etc folder etc.) have totally messed up permissions. Essentially all files have 0774. Also all new files created by touch, scripts, compilers etc., end up with executable flag set: $ touch test $ getfacl -a test # file: test # owner: Misiek # group: None user::rw- group::r-- group:Uzytkownicy uwierzytelnieni:rwx // Authenticated users group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Administratorzy:rwx // Admins group:Uzytkownicy:r-x // Users mask:rwx other:r-- $ ls -l test -rwxrwxr--+ 1 Misiek None 0 10-03 11:33 test Of course everything still works, but is it new expected behavior? I'm not sure if I really understand windows ACL, but this change in how cygwin handles them is really disruptive... Is there a tool / way to convert permissions on all my work folders/files, so they are interpreted by new cygwin the same way as old one did?
