Hi, I'm trying to understand default ACLs but fail :-) I want to make sure that a certain user always has write access to all subdirectories that are created with mode 755 in a directory (automatically by tomcat unpacking .war files). System is SLES9.
I tried to set the default ACL mask to rwx to make sure the subdirs inherit the same mask, but this fails. zuse tomcluster/webapps> ls -lad . drwxrwxr-x+ 20 tomcat hobit 880 Oct 19 10:37 . zuse tomcluster/webapps> getfacl . # file: . # owner: tomcat # group: hobit user::rwx user:csaba:rwx group::rwx mask::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:user:csaba:rwx default:group::rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::r-x Now, when creating a subdir with 755 (like tomcat does it): zuse tomcluster/webapps> mkdir -m 755 test zuse tomcluster/webapps> getfacl test # file: test # owner: tomcat # group: tomcat user::rwx user:csaba:rwx #effective:r-x group::rwx #effective:r-x mask::r-x other::r-x default:user::rwx default:user:csaba:rwx default:group::rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::r-x I don't understand why test/ has a mask of r-x. Shouldn't it inherit the mask rwx from the parent directory? How can I make sure that user csaba has write acess to subdirs with mode 755? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
