Linda, We seem to travel the same mailing lists. This is my first time to cygwin's.
I saved your script as "lsacl.txt". Then I used "cp lsacl.txt it" to make a copy. The copy is permission denied for reading. Basic ls -l shows no difference (as expected) $ ls -l lsacl.sh it ----rwx---+ 1 gaf None 1630 Sep 24 12:05 it ----rwx---+ 1 gaf None 1630 Sep 24 12:00 lsacl.sh But your script does show a difference: $ ./lsacl.sh lsacl.sh it [u::---,g::---,g:root:rwx,g:Authenticated Users:rwx,g:SYSTEM:rwx,g:Users:r-x,m:rwx,o:---/] lsacl.sh [u::---,g::r-x,g:root:rwx,g:Authenticated Users:rwx,g:SYSTEM:rwx,g:Users:r-x,m:rwx,o:---/] it My user id is "gaf". fyi: I thought I knew how to read an ACL, but the above makes little sense to me. Note I can cat out "lsacl.sh", but I can't cat out "it".
