Here's a function I plan to use:
wtouch()
{
local file=$1
CYGWIN=nontsec touch "$file"
setacl -on "$(cygpath -aw "$file")" -ot file \
-actn setowner -ownr "n:Administrators;s:n" \
-actn setgroup -grp "n:None;s:n" \
-silent || echo $FUNCNAME:setacl failed
# see http://setacl.sourceforge.net/html/doc-reference.html
}
I'm usually an admin, hence the setacl. The advantage of
setacl over chown is that the setacl above has no impact on the
DACL.
Example:
$ wtouch foo
$ cat /tmp/mycontents > foo # leaves owner,group and DACL untouched [I think]
