Re: Objects in ACL cygwin win 10
Hi all I think I figured out that the processes that the ACL object/identifier 'system' is referring to are like processes in sysinternals process explorer . Not sure but that is my best guess. If all else fails, I will chmod the hell out of everything until I beat stat command into submission. I will also be experimenting with your list of commands! Have a cool weekend. Thanks again for your help, Brian.

Re: Objects in ACL cygwin win 10
In more descriptive terms, an access control list is a list that determines which system processes or users are granted access to an object as well as what operations are permitted on the object. I tried to refer to the object 'system '. There are other objects like administrator, administrators, user, and everyone. Sorry, I tried to initially save keystrokes because I was typing on a phone keyboard. Bad idea. Just wondering, for home users, that aren't using domains, with ACLs, what type of objects are listed when you right click on a text file and choose properties and security in the windows 10 file explorer from within your cygwin install. I ask partially because with ACL as context, I cannot find a good example of 'system' object and what it is used for. I figure it must be either complicated or the opposite which is well understood . If you dont answer, I'm only frustrated with myself. Thanks for your help.

Not sure what you are asking about, but if you run $ ls -dl dir; getfacl dir; icacls dir $ ls -dl dir/file; getfacl dir/file; icacls dir/file you can see how POSIX perms get translated into POSIX ACLs and implemented as Windows ACLs. If anything appears complex or inconsistent, try running setfacl -b on dirs or files then reapply chmod perms and recheck with the above. -- Take care.
