Hi!

How can C:\cygwin ACL be fixed after a backup/restore (file by file, not 
image). The program seems to force canonical ACL while restoring.

How do i get back ACL as they are right after installing cygwin?

Docs did not help here. They discussed Windows-ACL to POSIX-ACL or 
simple rwxrwxrwx POSIX rights used on most *nix machines, but at no 
point where concrete ACL shown as they are supposed to be applied to the 
installed C:\cygwin tree.

Any idea? Any script? Any existing command to recreate recommended ACLs?
