I just posted this, but it looks like directories created in cygwin have reasonable ACLs, but directories created via "File Explorer" are bizarre. Where bizzare is defined as: $ getfacl /cygdrive/c/Test-dir-created-in-file-explorer/ # file: /cygdrive/c/Test-dir-created-in-file-explorer/ # owner: GAF # group: None user::--- group::--- group:root:rwx group:Authenticated Users:rwx group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:r-x mask:rwx other:--- default:user::--- default:group::--- default:group:root:rwx default:group:Authenticated Users:rwx default:group:SYSTEM:rwx default:group:Users:r-x default:mask:rwx default:other:--- Here's getfacl for C:\ $ getfacl /cygdrive/c # file: /cygdrive/c # owner: TrustedInstaller # group: TrustedInstaller user::--- group::--- group:root:rwx group:Authenticated Users:--- group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:r-x mask:rwx other:--- default:user::--- default:group::--- default:group:root:rwx default:group:Authenticated Users:rwx default:group:SYSTEM:rwx default:group:Users:r-x default:mask:rwx default:other:--- Is that what others have? fyi: I just realized I installed "System Mechanic" around the time I started seeing problems. It is installed on both of the machines having issues. I wonder if it adulterated my ACLs in an attempt to make my machine safer?
