Files created with CYGWIN have "NULL SID:(DENY)" windows ACL, inter alia

[Peter Binney <peter dot binney at gmail dot com>]

Creating a file using "> newfile", "icacls newfile" shows various DENY settings:

newfile NULL SID:(DENY)(Rc,S,WEA,X,DC)
        JCPR-DELL-3\peter:(R,W,D,WDAC,WO)
        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(DENY)(S,X)
        BUILTIN\Administrators:(DENY)(S,X)
        BUILTIN\Users:(DENY)(S,X)
        JCPR-DELL-3\None:(R)
        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX,W)
        BUILTIN\Administrators:(RX,W)
        BUILTIN\Users:(RX,W)
        Everyone:(R)

Whereas on a file created from Windows Explorer I see:
New Text Document.txt BUILTIN\Users:(I)(M)
                      Everyone:(I)(RX)
                      JCPR-DELL-3\peter:(I)(F)
                      BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
                      NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)

"mkpasswd" and "mkgroup" both show I (user "peter") have expected
entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group (I attach both)

Running "whoami" commands from powershell shows:

PS E:\temp> whoami /groups
