I may be shooting in the dark, but do try to set "Cygwin" as your user's primary group. Instructions how to do so should be around nsswitch documentation. If I'm not confusing things. Sorry. It was well before 2.0 I fixed my ACL issues and didn't touched them settings since. > Here's a sample file: > moss@Surface$ icacls random-1000k-comp.auto > random-1000k-comp.auto ELIOT-SURFACE-2\moss:(R,W,D,WDAC,WO) > ELIOT-SURFACE-2\Cygwin:(R,W) > NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(R) > ELIOT-SURFACE-2\Cygwin:(RX,W) > Everyone:(R) > Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files > moss@Surface$ getfacl random-1000k-comp.auto > # file: random-1000k-comp.auto > # owner: moss > # group: Cygwin > user::rwx > group::rw- > group:SYSTEM:r-- > group:Cygwin:rwx > mask:rwx > other:r-- > moss@Surface$ ls -l random-1000k-comp.auto > -rwxrwxr--+ 1 moss Cygwin 74 Apr 16 15:40 random-1000k-comp.auto > It may be helpful to see also how the containing directory is set up: > moss@Surface$ icacls . > .
