Hello,

I run cygwin on Windows (XP as well as Vista) with NTFS.

I want to deny access to a directory for one dedicated user.
I tried it with:
$ setfacl -m u:backup:0 /cygdrive/c/test
$ getfacl /cygdrive/c/test
# file: /cygdrive/c/test
# owner: meyer
# group: Kein
user::rwx
user:Backup:---
group::r-x
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:other:r-x

But nevertheless, user Backup can access the directory as well as the files
in it.

How to reach my goal?
Thanks
Matthias
