Hi Jürgen, >From an NTFS standpoint, the containing directory allows "Modify" level access >to the AD group the users are members of. Effective permissions shows the AD >group members can do the following to the containing folder by virtue of being >members of this group:
- Traverse folder / execute file - List Folder /read data - Read attributes - Read extended attributes - Create files /write data - Create folders / append data - Write attributes - Write extended attributes - Delete - Read permissions The following are NOT allowed of the AD group members: - Full control - Change Permissions - Take ownwership Any file placed in this directory through windows file management inherits the correct permissions. Files created from within Cygwin, even if I just do a "touch filename" allow the AD group "Read, write & execute" access instead of "Modify" access. In effective access, the following have check marks for users that are members of the AD group: - Traverse folder / execute file - List Folder /read data - Read attributes - Read extended attributes - Create files /write data - Create folders / append data - Write attributes - Write extended attributes - Read permissions Note that there are two differences: 1. Delete permission are now missing. 2. Inheritance has been disabled and all permissions that would have been inherited are on the file as explicit permissions, excepting "delete" Thanks for the help so far! Hopefully this answered your question. > Hi Eric, > what are the permission settings on the containing directory? > > Cheers, > --J.

I'll try to outline my issue with specifics. 1. There is a windows file server mapped to M:\ on the a windows computer running Cygwin. 2. There is an active directory group that has "Modify" level permissions on this file share (In NTFS, Modify includes explicit "delete" rights) 3. "User1" and "User2" are both members of the aforementioned AD group. 4. A file is created in /cygdrive/m/filepath/ through Cygwin being run as "User1". 5. "User2" attempts to delete this file. It does not work (access denied). 6. Upon further inspection of this file's ACL, the AD group with Modify level permissions now only has "read, write, execute" permissions, which, using windows "Effective Access" tool shows that the checkbox that assigns "delete" rights is no longer checked for this group. I tried using getfacl on a file with the modify permission allowed to my AD group, then passed that file into setfacl with the -f option to overwrite the ACL of my created file. From the NTFS point of view, my AD group still only has read/write/execute permissions instead of modify, which again, doesn't allow delete. For information gathering I use the resultant file from getfacl to setacl -f on a file with "good" NTFS permissions, it overwrites the permissions and again, my AD group only has rwx and not "modify" permissions while looking at the ACL from windows. How can I retain NTFS "delete" rights for my users and groups on files created by Cygwin?
