The answer to the latter question is no, so, I applied these changes to my /usr hierarchy (32 and 64 bit): Directories: setfacl -m group:SYSTEM:r-x setfacl -m default:group:SYSTEM:r-x chgrp Cygwin chmod g+s Files: setfacl -m group:SYSTEM:r-x chgrp Cygwin The chgrp and chmod are not the more necessary parts, but they tend to help Cygwin tools run ore smoothly. (Cygwin is the name of a group I set up for Cygwin things; of course I am a member of that group.) The setfacl SYSTEM settings are what is crucial for CrashPlan. Meanwhile, I still claim that 600 mode for .mo files is strange :-) ...
