This occurs even though I ran: mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd mkgroup --local > /etc/group The /owner and /primary group are displayed in subinacl (often as 'trustedinstaller'). Note that 'trustedinstaller' doesn't appear in my passwd or group files. So, question is why doesn't 'ls -al' and 'getfacl' give a more 'human readable' answer than '???????' even if trustedinstaller is a bogus name. Or should I just think of ?????? as cygwin for trustedinstaller? --------------------------------------------------- For example: $ ls -al /c/Window/notepad.exe -rwxrwx---+ 4 ???????? ???????? 193536 2009-07-13 21:39 /c/Windows/notepad.exe $ ls -aln /c/Window/notepad.exe -rwxrwx---+ 4 4294967295 4294967295 193536 2009-07-13 21:39 /c/Windows/notepad.exe $]subinacl /noverbose /nostatistic /fileC:\\Windows\\notepad.exe /display ============================= +File C:\Windows\notepad.exe ============================= /control=0x1c00 /owner =trustedinstaller /primary group =trustedinstaller /audit ace count =1 /aace =everyone Type=0x2 Flags=0xc0 AccessMask=0xd0116 /perm. ace count =4 /pace =trustedinstaller Type=0x0 Flags=0x0 AccessMask=0x1f01ff /pace =builtin\administrators Type=0x0 Flags=0x0 AccessMask=0x1200a9 /pace =system Type=0x0 Flags=0x0 AccessMask=0x1200a9 /pace =builtin\users Type=0x0 Flags=0x0 AccessMask=0x1200a9 -- 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
