I'm guessing the '+' is used whenever there are permissions that do not
comply directly with the rwx(user,group,world) schema.
Behold:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /bin
$ ls -l ls.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admins mkgroup 71680 Jul 13 10:23 ls.exe*
is the same as
C:\cygwin\bin>xcacls ls.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe Everyone:F
However, a newly downloaded and chmod'd to 777 .exe file looks like
this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /bin
$ ls -l connect.exe
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 admins mkgroup 69632 Nov 19 12:52 connect.exe*
which equals the extremely ugly NTFS permission-set below
C:\cygwin\bin>xcacls connect.exe
