Hmm, I don't see a recursive option either. You should be able to set ACL on 
files in a direcotry with `setfacl -m blah *`, and pipe that through 'find 
-type:d` and xargs to do an entire directory tree.


Patches to add a recursive option to setfacl would be most appreciated.  If 
you (or someone else reading this) does work on it, make sure to implement the

standard set of recursion variations (symlinks, etc).

setfacl(1) Recursively?

2006-10-21 Thread David Stanford

Hi all,

I'm simply trying to set ACLs on a few directories but don't see an option
to recursively apply this to the whole directory's contents. Does applying
the ACL to a directory inherently apply it to all other files and folders
within the directory? I've browsed the man page and handbook but can't find
the info. Thanks.

You should be able to set ACL on files in a direcotry with `setfacl -m
blah *`, and pipe that through 'find -type:d` and xargs to do an
entire directory tree.

I got it with this on my server for /etc:

# cd /etc
# setfacl -m u:rsync_ssh:r,g:rsync_ssh:r `find .`

Thanks.
