NT extended attributes

Can anyone explain how NTFS security maps to the cygwin32 POSIX-ish
user/group/other file permissions? I've tried to set up a
somewhat-secure login environment on NT. Working as administrator, I
can create folders and set their ownership through cygwin32 (chown
works). So the folder looks like
drwxr-xr-x 2 jsturm Domain U 0 Oct 14 12:54 /AEC
but user 'jsturm' cannot create files in /AEC. However 'jsturm' can add
himself explicitly through Explorer's security tab... then all is well,
even though the output of `ls -ld /AEC' doesn't change.
The POSIX utilities I downloaded from microsoft seem to work correctly,
at least `chmod' and `ls -l'. Too bad they don't seem to work from a
remote telnet session...
BTW I'm using 19.3 on NT4 SP3 with "tty binmode ntea".
