Looks like that's only if lpSecurityAttributes is non-NULL, but I guess Cygwin uses that field? "Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP/2000: For backward compatibility purposes, CreateFile does not apply inheritance rules when you specify a security descriptor in lpSecurityAttributes. To support inheritance, functions that later query the security descriptor of this file may heuristically determine and report that inheritance is in effect. For more information, see Automatic Propagation of Inheritable ACEs." Out of interest I'm going to have a look at SECURITY_DESCRIPTORs, but it'll take some time. :-) > Thanks for the report Thanks for taking a look! -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
