Try "getfacl". I didn't create any, but it's possible the system installation did. getfacl /root yields: # file: root # owner: root # group: root user::r-x group::r-x other::--- default:user::r-x default:group::r-x default:other::--- getfacl /boot yields: # file: boot # owner: root # group: root user::r-x group::r-x other::r-x default:user::r-x default:group::r-x default:other::r-x Would this cause the observed effect? I don't know what the default ACLs do. Are they explained anywhere?
