Thank you for pointing out getfacl, I didn't know that existed.  You are
right in that the ACLs from getfacl match up correctly.  Also, if you create
a directory in Cygwin on /c like you did it does not show up as shared.  If
you create a directory in your Vista home directory (/c/Users/<username>/)
on the other hand it shows up as shared.  I thought there was something
about the /c/Users/<username> directory where child folders inherit the
parent's settings as you alluded to; however, the /c/Users/<username> dir is
not shared by default.  Is setting a folder to be shared separate from the
ACLs?  If I create a folder in Vista and set it to shared/not shared getfacl
returns the same thing.  Do you have any more insight about this?

I can also say that CYGWIN=notntsec does fix this behavior (created folders
are no longer shared).  I have searched for information about this setting
but haven't yet found a good explanation.  Can you shed some light on what
this env variable does, and what are the consequences of setting it (or
point me to a post/resource that can explain it?)

Lighten up.  The guy got no responses for six weeks with maybe his first
post to the list.  Additionally, the forum on Nabble is entitled "Cygwin
Users".  A simple 'No, the devs do in fact read this list' would suffice.
