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 .
I've used Linux ACLs for a while .. and I've always issued commands individually. I don't know that this will make a difference for you, but in case it does, it is worth a shot. Try clearing out your ACLs and do them one at a time. Also .. I've used (for a default ACL) setfacl -d -m u:<user>:<perm> .. your format looks a little different. Both could be right .. I've just never tried it your way. Also .. keep in mind that the existing file mask counts.
