Hello,I'm experiencing the issue described here[1]: files and folders created with Cygwin utilities like touch and mkdir have an incorrect ACL ("The access control list (ACL) structure is invalid (os error 1336)"). icacls test.txt /verify test.txt: Ace entries not in canonical order. Interestingly the issue does not occur with files created in the user's Cygwin home directory but - for instance - in the Documents folder of the user's Windows profile. This is a fresh Cygwin installation on a test system. Has anyone found a solution?

This is normal, and has to do with how Cygwin arranges to model, within the Windows ACL permissions system, some features of the Posix permissions system. Don't "fix" the ACLs - that can make the Posix functionality break. While the entries are not in canonical order, they work fine :-) ... If you dig deeper into the Cygwin documentation on permissions handling you can read all the gory details ...
