Ha, I forgot cygwin remaps them on windows perms. But then why does it works if I create dummy user in /etc/passwd. For example for root $ echo "root:*:0:0:,S-1-5-32-545::" >> /etc/passwd $ chown root:root /tmp/toto $ ls -l /tmp/toto -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 28 14:49 /tmp/toto Does it means in this case I create "ACLs with unrecognised SIDs" ?
