Can someone help me understand where I'm going wrong with setfacl?
I want every new file created in a directory to have an effective acl of rwx for user "bob".
I do this:
setfacl -m d:u:bob:rwx,u:bob:rwx directory
Then I touch a new file into that directory:
touch directory/newfile
Unfortunately, newfile comes in with some seemingly random acl -- sometimes it's r--, sometimes it's rw-, but it's never rwx.
What gives?
I've tried explicitly setting the default and non-default masks too -- that doesn't seem to help (but here's the command I mean):
setfacl -m d:m::rwx,m::rwx,d:u:bob:rwx,u:bob:rwx .
I've used Linux ACLs for a while .. and I've always issued commands
individually. I don't know that this will make a difference for you, but
in case it does, it is worth a shot. Try clearing out your ACLs and do
them one at a time. Also .. I've used (for a default ACL) setfacl -d -m
u:<user>:<perm> .. your format looks a little different. Both could be
right .. I've just never tried it your way. Also .. keep in mind that the
existing file mask counts.

is setfacl broken? or is it Linux acl support in general?
