Unfortunately, acl mode is unusable in a non-domain environment as all the files have ownership/permissions relative to the server user/group rather than the client workstation user/group. Reference this mailing list discussion back in 2000: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00546.html It appears this discussion is actually what led Corinna to add the smbntsec mount option. The issues are summarized well in this mail from Charles Wilson: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00756.html Cheers, Raman -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
