Hi,
I'm having problems with cygwin 1.7 and ACL handling.
I do some software development and for the software I write I also create unit
tests. Those unit test are run automatically in a cygwin environment triggered
by a build system. Now I'm updating the machines on which the unit tests are
running, from windows XP to Windows Server 2008 and from cygwin 1.5 to cygwin
1.7. Since this update some unit tests are failing.
All the failing unit tests have in common that they do something with ACL:
For some test we change the access control list like:
acl.AddAccessRule(new
System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
, System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights.FullControl
, System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType.Deny));
SandboxedDirectory.SetAccessControl(acl);
Then in the test we try to create a directory inside the sandboxed directory
and check that the right exception has been thrown because it shouldn't be able
to do so.
On windows XP with cygwin version 1.5 everything was working OK
Now we are upgrading to windows server 2008 so we also need to update to cygwin
1.7, the test are starting to fail, because they are able to create directories
in the sandboxed directory.
I know/read that from cygwin 1.7 cygwin uses mount point with corresponding
acl/noacl flags and no longer using the ntsec and nontsec flags in the CYGWIN
environment variable.
I tried to change the mounting point to set noacl and acl but this didn't had
any effect.
On the OLD xp machines with cygwin 1.5 the CYGWIN variable was set to nontsec
In CMD prompt test run fine.
In a bash prompt test fail.
In a cmd prompt started from a bash prompt test also fail.
Not running in a cygwin environment is not an option for now!
Any Idea what to do?
Regards
Mark
