After that put in /etc/fstab none /cygdrive cygdrive binary, posix=0, noacl, user 0 0 Close all processes. That would give me a posix permission set up, right? I read something about windows ignoring some dos bit with a file permission but that is outside of cygwin...right? Lastly, with acl you open an administrator cmd shell. With posix can I escalate to root and stay away from admin cmd shell? Is anyone else using posfix setup in general or mostly acl? Thanks for any help! Roboloki Sat. Nov. 14 1:35 pm Hi all- I found in the manual about the execute bit permission being ignored in filesystems with acl. That answered one question above. I can just take advantage of how exe heuristics work. If I find myself in a position where it needs administrator rights via a shell, will it interfere with my posix permissions, users, or groups once the /etc/groups and /etc/password and fstab are already setup Did the fstab entry above look okay for posix permission? Thanks for any assistance ! Roboloki
