Guys, I'm aware that the new ACL group/mask behaviour gives a little trouble. Before you turn your Windows system upside down, let's discuss how to go forward. See my mail at https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-02/msg00197.html and chime in so we can puzzle out the best solution for the future. Ideally I(*) only have to implement this once ;) Corinna (*) Well, ideally somebody takes a heart and helps coding... -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
