Dear cygwin'ers -
I seem to be caught in a bind with the Cygwin permissions setup.
ssh insists that ~/.ssh/config have permissions no less permissive than
rw------- (600).
---> should have read no *more* permissive (sent too late at night!)
However, my backup program runs as SYSTEM and needs access. I tried to
provide that access by adding an ACL g:SYSTEM:r-x, but that appears as
rw-r-x--- and ssh doesn't like it.
I seem to recall that at some point in the past we agreed to ignore the
permissions given to SYSTEM when computing effective permission (e.g., as
output by ls -l). That would suit the purpose.
Did something change? or am I misremembering the solution to the conundrum?
Note: I have Administrator privilege on my machine, but that doesn't help,
since the backup tool runs under SYSTEM, a different account.
Best wishes - Eliot Moss
