Hello, I just restored an instance of cygwin from a tarball that had been created with "tar -cf - /cygdrive/c/cygwin". Everything worked fine except sshd (the only service that I run). The problem turned out to be that file access control lists needed to be set on cygrunsrv and sshd. Indeed, none of the facls in /bin and /usr/sbin were restored. I set all files in /bin and /sbin to have the following acl:
user::rwx group::r-x group:root:rwx group:SYSTEM:rwx mask:rwx other:--- And, now, sshd starts fine. First question: am I missing anything that will bite me? Second question: how can I backup facls as part of a tar backup and restore them?
