Cygwin *does* support NTFS ACLs _now_ (I think the implementation is either POSIX or POSIX-like). The semantics issues you mention above are very real, but if Cygwin is functioning properly, rsync doesn't need to care. > I have a vague recollection that NTFS > also has some form of EAs.

I tried searching the MS Platform SDK, but couldn't find any docs on them. > If two like systems (windows<->windows for > example) are communicating they could use their native ACL > format instead of POSIX. That would entail a native Windows port of rsync (or sidestepping Cygwin for ACL handling).
