Thanks for the examples. I had read the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup

I have most of the users and groups over now. Interestingly the "root" group
still displays as "????????" in the ls output, but such files are rare and I
can live with that for now.

See <http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-filemodes.html> if you're interested
in the details here.


Sorry about the posix/acl mix-up. I'm still getting used to the new flags in 1.7 and
haven't committed everything to memory yet, as you can see. ;-)
