How did you do that?  The ACLs in the Cygwin default dirs are supposed
to contain only three ACEs, one for the installing user, one for the
local admin group, and one for everyone.  At least that's how setup.exe
installs them.

You don't.  Everyone is the entry corresponding to POSIX "other".  It's
not actually a group, even if it has a SID.

Btw., my machine and my account are domain members as well.  Obviously
all entries in /usr/bin have an Everyone ACE.  My ls -l takes only about
1.2 secs with > 2200 entries in /usr/bin.
