(I think) I know what you are trying to say in the previous paragraph, but "this approach" and "directly modifying the ACL entries" is a little vague. Masks are about solving the hysteresis problem, right? So, how about some text along the following lines (I'm sure you can improve): [[ The purpose of the file masks is to allow applications that are unaware of RichACLs to place limits on the permissions granted by various classes of RichACL in a manner that corresponds to the traditional user/group/other semantics, without modifying the ACL entries in those classes. Without the file masks, the only alternative would be for the kernel to directly modify the ACL entries in those classes. However, this latter approach could have a "hysteresis effect", whereby a RichACL-unaware application that performs a transition from one file mode to another file mode and then back to the original file mode could cause destruction of the permission information in ACL entries. ]] > > Note that entries with the identifier > .B everyone@ > apply to all processes, whereas the \(lqother\(rq file permissions and > \(lqother\(rq entries in POSIX ACLs apply to all processes which are not the I'd be inclined to use (or add) \fBACL_OTHER\fP instead of "other" in the preceding line.

Why "should be" in the previous sentence?

So, in the above subcases, the following does not seem to be covered: (1) "masked" ACL flag is set AND (2) requesting process *is* in owning group *or* an ACL other than "everyone@"matches the process. What happens in this case? I suspect that somehow we are supposed to fall through to part "b)" below (and possibly into clause "2."?), but the logical structure of the clauses does not reflect this. > .RE > .IP b) > If any of the following is true: > .RS 4 s/4/2/ > .IP \(bu 4 s/4/2/ > the requesting process is the file owner and the owner mask does not include all > requested permissions, > .IP \(bu 4 s/ 4// > the requesting process is not the file owner and it is in the owning group or > matches any ACL entries other than > .BR everyone@ , > and the group mask does not include all requested permissions, > .IP \(bu 4 s/ 4// > the requesting process is not the file owner, not in the owning group, it > matches no ACL entries other than > .BR everyone@ , > and the other mask does not include all requested permissions, > .PP > then access is denied. > .RE > .RE At some point, perhaps in the next paragraph, I think that it needs to be clarified that unlike POSIX ACLs, a process can gain the permissions it requires by accumulating them from multiple RichACL enties.

For each entry: So, perhaps replace the preceding two lines with something like: [[ Upon reaching this point, the determination of whether or not access is granted is made by scanning all ACL entries to see if one or more applicable entries together grant a cumulative set of permissions that matches the requested permissions or there is an applicable entry that explicitly denies one or more of the requested permissions. The scan of all ACL entries begins by first initializing the set of remaining permissions (i.e., those that have not yet been satisfied during the scan) to be the set of requested permissions.
