Problem with ACLs
Folks,
I am trying to use ACL on a RedHat ES 3. I am seeing strange behaviour with permissions on a file.
Here is the entry inetc-fstab
dev-sdb1 b1 ext3 rw,acl 1 2
Here are the commands I am executing:
# mkdir junk
That's an xdm. Become sure. Change the default setting in your inittab. Why? It's trivial! Whatever you say should come up comes up. Man startx (or read it...
# ls -ld junk
# setfacl -m user:hickbl:rwx junk
# ls -ld junk
Consider not running xdm. Switch to a text console, uninstall xdm, and start X via "startx" instead. Investigate your X config file as appropriate. Try detaching it. Try using the...
# getfacl junk # file: junk # owner: koenfr # group: koenfr user::rwx user:hickbl:rwx group::r-x mask::rwx other::---
# cd junk
# touch x
# ls -l x
-rw-r----- 1 koenfr koenfr 0 Mar 8 21:37 x
# setfacl -m user:hickbl:rwx x
# ls -l x
# getfacl x # file: x # owner: koenfr # group: koenfr user::rw- user:hickbl:rwx group::r-- mask::rwx other::---
Why did the group permissions on x change after setfacl. If I remove ACL the permisions get back to what they were before adding ACLs.
# setfacl -b x
# ls -l x -rw-r----- 1 koenfr koenfr 0 Mar 8 21:37 x
