And I think you absolutely should be able to configure your fileserver to
implement your preference. Why shouldn't I be able to configure my
fileserver to implement mine :)?
acl-chmod interactions have been mishandled so badly in the past that i
think a bit of experimentation with differing policies is in order.
Based on the amount of wailing I see around acls, I think that, based on
personal experience with both systems, AFS had it more or less right and
POSIX got it more or less wrong -- once you step into the world of acls,
the file mode should be mostly ignored, and an accidental chmod should
*not* destroy carefully crafted acls.
