This has nothing to do with NT5. It's dependent of the way `ntsec'
uses the ACLs. NT4 does correctly interpret the stored ACL information.
Only the GUI interface (the security tab) isn't able to deal with the
permissions set in some cases.

Please have a look into the online documentation (which is always
appropriate) at

http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html

especially the following subchapter:
