Hello,

I'm trying to change the permission of a file from 644 to 600. I've tried chmod and setfacl without success. Can someone please help me with this? Details follow:

Platform is XP.

$ uname -srv
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34

$ ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 0 xotrader01 Users 4 Sep  5 18:05 foo

$ chmod 600 foo

$ ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 0 xotrader01 Users 4 Sep  5 18:05 foo

$ getfacl foo
# file: foo
# owner: xotrader01
# group: Users
user::rw-
group::r--
other:r--
mask:rwx

$ setfacl -m g:Users:--- foo

$ getfacl foo
# file: foo
# owner: xotrader01
# group: Users
user::rw-
group::r--
other:r--
mask:rwx

$ cat /etc/group
