Hi All Default ACLs don't seem to work as they would on Linux, or for that matter as they do for files created via Windows Explorer.
Is this expected? administra...@hostname:/ $ mkdir newdir administra...@hostname:/ $ getfacl newdir # file: newdir # owner: Administrator # group: None user::rwx group::r-x mask:rwx other:r-x default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:other:r-x administra...@hostname:/ $ setfacl -m 'd:g:dbas:rwx,d:g:SYSTEM:rwx' newdir administra...@hostname:/ $ getfacl newdir # file: newdir # owner: Administrator # group: None user::rwx group::r-x mask:rwx other:r-x default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:group:SYSTEM:rwx default:group:dbas:rwx default:mask:rwx default:other:r-x administra...@hostname:/ $ touch newdir/newfile administra...@hostname:/ $ getfacl newdir/newfile # file: newdir/newfile # owner: Administrator # group: None user::rw- group::r-- mask:rwx other:r-- Irrespective of CYGWIN=(null), CYGWIN=ntsec, or CYGWIN=nontsec. If I create a file in Windows Explorer, its ACLs are: $ getfacl newdir/newfile2 # file: newdir/newfile2 # owner: Administrators # group: None user::rwx group::r-x group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:r-x group:dbas:rwx mask:rwx other:r-x Basically I'm looking for a way to ensure the right users and groups can read files that I create.
