If so then you are the owner of the file and should have r/w permission. However, your UID does not equal the UID specified in the ACL of the file (Administrators, 544) and so any program that only knows about straight posix permissions would not consider you the owner. In posix world the owner is a single user and can't be a group. > $ ls -l new.pl > -rw------- 1 sshd Domain Users 22 Aug 28 13:04 new.pl > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ > $ cat new.pl > cat: new.pl: Permission denied Here you are no longer the owner of the file and so you have no permissions. I think it's really just a demonstration of how the two different permission systems don't always map onto each other exactly. I think this has come up before and someone even pointed out that there's a variable you can set in Perl to tell it not to try to check posix permissions but instead to just try accessing the file. Or something like that. I don't remember the details.
