OTOH group::r ? to answer myself (from acl(5)) snip The ACL_MASK entry denotes the maximum access rights that can be granted by entries of type ACL_USER, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, or ACL_GROUP. The permissions defined for the file group correspond to the permissions of the ACL_GROUP_OBJ entry, if the ACL has no ACL_MASK entry. If the ACL has an ACL_MASK entry, then the permissions defined for the file group correspond to the permissions of the ACL_MASK entry. snap > Confused am i I tend to think of acls as an extended variant of the classical group permission now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxFgkwACgkQYoWFBIJE9eVnzgCgvZ8XPBPd3Er6nb9mfyrPGKpS g88AniRxo+TV/YTamXFCwrIgI5GczXYA =0oEB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
