Subject: owner and group in ntsec

I am using cygwin on XP Home and all files created outside cygwin have group
'None' as expected. But files created in the cygwin environment have the
group from the /etc/passwd file. Where are those groups stored? When I check
permissions with cacls I don't see any owner and groups which are attached
to the files (getfacl shows them). Even when I change permissions with cacls
the file owner and group does not change. Can I see and modify owner and
group with Windows tools? (I succeeded to change the owner under the
Administrator account in a save envionment, but I didn't see something like
a group there.)
