Your English is fine - mine is problematical.
What are icacls and getfacl listings?
My problem is that after a chown the directories are inaccessible and/or
I can not look at the Security property without getting a diagnostic. I
have assumed that the diagnostic indicates an issue. I get the feeling
that the diagnostic does not indicate a fault and that things should
work fine.
I just ran a minitest:
> mkdir gg
> touch gg/cc
> chown -R <owner>:<group> gg
In the Explorer I get the same diagnostic on gg and the <owner> has no
permissions. Is this the correct behavior (and if you tell me what
icacls and getfacl listings I will provide them.
