This may be possible by using the native Windows icacls tool. Running 'icacls /?' shows the following: ICACLS name /save aclfile [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q] Stores the DACLs for the files and folders that match the name into aclfile for later use with /restore. Note that SACLs, owner, or integrity labels are not saved. ICACLS directory [/substitute SidOld SidNew [...]] /restore aclfile [/C] [/L] [/Q] Applies the stored DACLs to files in directory. I don't know if icacls reorders ACEs in ACLs (messing up cygwin's permissions). You would need to test. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
