Subject: Tutorial on ACL's?

Is there a good tutorial for ACL's somewhere?  I find ACL's do not work they
way I expect on NTFS.  Eventually directories which I use chmod and chown on
become unusable for general actives.  For example, I regularly install
applications on my e: drive.  However, because I have used chmod and chown
to correct problems there before, the disk is now in a state where
everything I install is owned by "docbill" and I'm the only one who can
install applications.  Even then I regularly have to do something like
chmod -R 775 /cygdrive/e during an install because directories are created
with insufficient permission to install components.  I'm fairly certain this
is related to the ACL settings...
