Subject: Switching to posix with no acl
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2020 00:57:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEMWCRvXcD+5WSB0YKD0sPmHxxyvF5_goA7VyoihuMu7EqsXJw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all
Since there are no adduser or addgroup, I guess I'd create those files
manually off /etc.
Then I'd run passwd.
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!
