It's a bit more user friendly, IMO...:-). ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/chacl ) -d/D for directory ACLS, -r/R for only file acls -b/B to change both file&dir ACLs -l for list -r for recursive (only 1 command needed -- just use "list"; after all, with a "get" operator, what do you "do" with the acl after you "get" it"...not very intuitive if you ask me; sounds like it was written to mimic a system call -- not designed for humans) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
