You here is the output of getfacl on my working dir.group is marked as not writeable, but i have no group (Kein) means no group in german. i have called mkgroup -l /etc/group and restart shell, but same. # file: /cygdrive/e/amiga/amidevcpp/bernd # owner: bernd # group: Kein user::rwx group::r-x other:r-x mask:rwx all other dirs i use have same output. # file: /cygdrive/e/amiga/amidevcpp # owner: bernd # group: Kein user::rwx group::r-x other:r-x mask:rwx I have a windows XP home.this have no security tab, or can control group as far i know by default. it seem have only a account manager, and can free or hide drives for network access.i have all my drives not give free for network access (thats the default from winxp home).I also have no network at home, i only have wlan to go to internet and this work ok.i can access all system dirs in windows with a file manager that show hidden dirs. > can also check the permissions on the security tab in Windows to make sure > that the "Administrator" has access either directly or through inheritance > from its parent directory.
