restoring facls after restore from tar


Hello,

I just restored an instance of cygwin from a tarball that had been created
with "tar -cf - /cygdrive/c/cygwin". Everything worked fine except sshd
(the only service that I run).  The problem turned out to be that file
access control lists needed to be set on cygrunsrv and sshd.  Indeed, none
of the facls in /bin and /usr/sbin were restored.  I set all files in /bin
and /sbin to have the following acl:

user::rwx
group::r-x
group:root:rwx
group:SYSTEM:rwx
mask:rwx
other:---

And, now, sshd starts fine.  

First question: am I missing anything that will bite me?

Second question: how can I backup facls as part of a tar backup and 
restore them?

Thanks,

Dick
