cygwin potentially corrupting permissions?

[Greg Freemyer]

Linda,

We seem to travel the same mailing lists.  This is my first time to cygwin's.

I saved your script as "lsacl.txt".  Then I used "cp lsacl.txt it" to
make a copy.

The copy is permission denied for reading.  Basic ls -l shows no
difference (as expected)

$ ls -l lsacl.sh it
----rwx---+ 1 gaf None 1630 Sep 24 12:05 it
----rwx---+ 1 gaf None 1630 Sep 24 12:00 lsacl.sh

But your script does show a difference:

$ ./lsacl.sh lsacl.sh it
[u::---,g::---,g:root:rwx,g:Authenticated
Users:rwx,g:SYSTEM:rwx,g:Users:r-x,m:rwx,o:---/] lsacl.sh
[u::---,g::r-x,g:root:rwx,g:Authenticated
Users:rwx,g:SYSTEM:rwx,g:Users:r-x,m:rwx,o:---/] it

My user id is "gaf".

fyi: I thought I knew how to read an ACL, but the above makes little
sense to me.  Note I can cat out "lsacl.sh", but I can't cat out "it".

Greg
