Thanks for the details @webian. I confirm I can reproduce the issue. Digging into the plan9 server logic, I can tell that this is a limitation of the \wsl.localhost at the moment: Additional groups are not processed when accessing files, which is why you're getting access denied |

Repro Steps

Linux user 'tom' is in the 'www-pub' group.
Seems like inconsistent behavior to me.
