I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention an important part: Recomputing the mask is *not* done in the kernel or, in our case, Cygwin. Rather this functionality is part of the setfacl tool. Setfacl recomputes the mask by default. There's a new option -n/--no-mask as on Linux to retain the current mask setting, e.g. $ setfacl -n -m g:wheel:r-x file Try setfacl --help for a comprehensive description of all options.
