Hello! I have made a file test.txt in d:temp and removed all Windows permissions from it. Consequently, I cannot access the file from Windows Explorer or cmd.exe.
However, if I try the following from a cygwin bash I get the contents of the file $cat /cygdrive/d/temp/test.txt How can cygwin bypass the windows file permissions, if I have even removed SYSTEM from the Acl: $ ls -l test.txt ---------- 1 Administratoren SYSTEM 3058 May 4 2006 test.txt $ getfacl.exe test.txt # file: test.txt # owner: Administratoren # group: SYSTEM user::--- group::--- mask:rwx other:--- $ cacls test.txt d:temptest.txt Best regards, Rainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
