I have ntsec enabled, and I have the permissions on all my personal files and directories set so that /bin/ls will show the permissions without the trailing '+'. Thus, /bin/ls shows me extactly who has access to my files, and I don't have use Explorer or cacls to see who has access.
Whenever I create a new file or directory in one of my directories using a non-Cygwin Windows application (e.g., Wordpad), the file has the following ACLs: c:\franl\todo.txt CORP\flitteri:F NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F which causes /bin/ls to show the permissions as "rwx------+". Is there any way to prevent the SYSTEM ACE from appearing in the ACL of new files and directories created by Windows applications (thus eliminating the '+' from the /bin/ls output)? At first, I thought the SYSTEM ACE was being inherited from the directory in which the file was created, but that's not the case. There is no SYSTEM ACE in the ACL on the containing directory.
