I can't reproduce this. I right click and create a new Notepad file
foo.txt, it has the permissions:
$ ls -l foo.txt
-rwx------+ 1 Administrators None 0 May 28 14:40 foo.txt
brian AT vista /c/users/brian
$ getfacl foo.txt
# file: foo.txt
# owner: Administrators
# group: None
user::rwx
user:brian:rwx
group::---
group:SYSTEM:rwx
mask:rwx
other:---
This looks normal, I see the exact same behavior in Windows XP, except
the owner is my user instead of the Administrators group, but I think
there's a policy setting that controls this.
The permissions on a file created with native Windows methods should
inherit from the parent folder, following standard NTFS rules, so maybe
you need to look at what the containing folder's permissions are set to.
