Can someone help me understand where I'm going wrong with setfacl? I want every new file created in a directory to have an effective acl of rwx for user "bob". I do this: setfacl -m d:u:bob:rwx,u:bob:rwx directory Then I touch a new file into that directory: touch directory/newfile Unfortunately, newfile comes in with some seemingly random acl -- sometimes it's r--, sometimes it's rw-, but it's never rwx. What gives? I've tried explicitly setting the default and non-default masks too -- that doesn't seem to help (but here's the command I mean): setfacl -m d:m::rwx,m::rwx,d:u:bob:rwx,u:bob:rwx . Still gives the same results. If I then turn around and re-apply what should be the existing default acl to the new file, this time it sticks. Same thing happens if I 'chmod +x newfile': setfacl -m u:bob:rwx newfile It really just seems like default acl support under Linux doesn't work. That really, really sucks. -- Trever -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
