Keep Cygwin Applications from setting NTFS security descriptors

http://blag.nullteilerfrei.de/2014/04/07/keep-cygwin-applications-from-setting-ntfs-security-descriptors/

My tip is to avoid this by making cygwin not set any permissions at all. If a cygwin application then creates a file, for instance, this file will only inherit its security settings from the folder it is contained in.

 noacl     - Cygwin ignores filesystem ACLs and only fakes a subset of
       permission bits based on the DOS readonly attribute.  This
       behaviour is the default on FAT and FAT32.  The flag is
       ignored on NFS filesystems.

Don't mix NFS with NTFS. :-(
