Title:
getfacl display some characters as escaped octal in username
Status in acl package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in acl package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: acl
When a user have various non-standard characters in usernames (such as
"é" or "\"), and there are ACL for that user, getfacl display the
unusual characters as octal.
While it may not be correct to have these characters in Unix username,
the backslash is often found in username when using the winbind NSS
backend for passwd. As such, it is a very common use case.
Moreover, ls and other tools from coreutils behave as expected and
show the non-standard characters correctly.
Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ touch test1
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ setfacl -m u:CANONICAL\\etienne:rwx test1
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ getfacl test1
# file: test1
# owner: ubuntu
# group: ubuntu
user::rw-
user:lp:rwx
user:CANONICAL\134etienne:rwx
group::r-x
mask::rwx
other::r--
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ sudo chown CANONICAL\\etienne test1
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ ls -l test1
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 CANONICAL\etienne ubuntu 0 2008-02-26 00:17 test1
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ touch test2
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ setfacl -m u:testé:rwx test2
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ getfacl test2
# file: test2
# owner: ubuntu
# group: ubuntu
user::rw-
user:lp:rwx
user:test\303\251:rwx
group::r-x
mask::rwx
other::r--
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ sudo chown testé test2
ubuntu@test-eg:~/test$ ls -l test2
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 testé ubuntu 0 2008-02-26 00:17 test2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that, in the above example, the backslash have to be escaped with
another backslash (ie, "\\") to prevent interpretation by the shell;
the username have a single backslash indeed.
