Re: Cygwin 1.7 ACLs

Thanks I'm not criticising Cywin's ACL behaviour just looking for guidance on anyone who has used 1.7 with existing Windows applications. In my case I wish to use the cygwin toolset but operate within the context of the Windows OS/Tools which clearly rely on Windows based ACLs and trying to find a reasonable workable approach to the problem. I'll read the mount table section you supplied and the other sections on cygwin's ACL behaviour.
