This allowed me to create a file with an equivalent DACL... almost. The interesting thing here is that after ACL restoration the DACL has all the entries as yours, in the same order, except that the Mandatory Label\High Mandatory Level:(I)(OI)(CI)(NW) entry is not created. I tried the same under the SYSTEM account and it still silenty ignored the above entry. Given that the DACL is no problem for getfacl without this mandatory label entry, I have to assume that this is what acl_to_text chokes on. The problem now is... how on earth can I create an ACL with this entry? The GUI does not allow to add it and icacls apparently doesn't allow this either, even though it shows it nicely.
