  Well, yes, of course it does.  'cp' behaves like the POSIX version,
setting rights according to the umask; and POSIX only knows about UGO
rights, so the newly-copied files get the nearest approximation in that
scheme to their original ACLs.  'cp' does not know about Windoze ACLs
because POSIX does not know about Windoze ACLS.  If you want to have files
that use the POSIX perms model, use cygwin's 'cp' command, but if you want
to have files that use the full Windoze ACLs, use a windows copy command.


    cheers,
