I am trying to create an entry for '/' (or '.' w/me sitting in '/')

Ooooo ... not sure _I'd_ mess what / on a Windows system!

I noticed the example give in the manpage for copying entries:

The special filename "-" indicates reading from stdin.
        Note that you can use this with getfacl and setfacl to copy ACLs from
        one file to another:

            $ getfacl source_file | setfacl -f - target_file

so tried doing:

   getfacl . | setfacl -d - .

I have no problem doing:

mkdir temp
getfacl . | setfacl -f - temp
getfacl temp | setfacl -f .
getfacl / | setfacl -f .

I didn't want to try setting things on /, but
you might:

cd /
mkdir foo
getfacl foo | setfacl -f - .

But I am not sure what foo would have as its permission, i.e., whether
they are what you want.
