I now understand > why you were hesitant to have chmod affect the group permissions, but > having it affect both mask and group solves both problems. I think you're missing the point of his example. The point is that a chmod-using application may expect the sequence chmod(600) chmod(664) on a file with mode 664 to be a no-op. But if chmod() changes both group and mask bits ("owning group" and "group file class" bits) then this sequence isn't a no-op any more in his example. It gives GROUP@ write permissions. So Andreas is trying to ensure the property that any sequence of chmod's that leaves the mode bits the same also leaves the ACL the same. I agree that that's a nice property. What I'm not convinced of yet is that this is really worth caring about much. Is this common application behavior? Have there been complaints about this from people using Solaris's ACLs? --b. _______________________________________________ nfsv4 mailing list nfsv4@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nfsv4
