Sorry, 84-yr old eyes sometimes don't work as well.  Thanks for 
confirming that  nothing has changed with regards to these matters; 
clearly it is some change in the way Windows 11 tries to cooperate with 
Windows 10 in the case of mapped network drives being using in the file 
sharing mode wherein remote users must have ids and passwords on the 
target drives -- which they do and always have, but the key ACE entry 
known as NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users is correctly specified after 
performing an icacls /reset, but is not longer correctly set after 
editing a file with vim across the network.  I'll keep looking and 
trying to  learn.  Thank you.
