Dear cygwin'ers - I seem to be caught in a bind with the Cygwin permissions setup.
ssh insists that ~/.ssh/config have permissions no less permissive than rw------- (600). However, my backup program runs as SYSTEM and needs access. I tried to provide that access by adding an ACL g:SYSTEM:r-x, but that appears as rw-r-x--- and ssh doesn't like it. I seem to recall that at some point in the past we agreed to ignore the permissions given to SYSTEM when computing effective permission (e.g., as output by ls -l). That would suit the purpose. Did something change? or am I misremembering the solution to the conundrum? Note: I have Administrator privilege on my machine, but that doesn't help, since the backup tool runs under SYSTEM, a different account.
