Re: bug when running setfacl recursively

This looks like I'm stupid, I forgot that I had a few symlinks in
the /nfs directory that pointed to various places on my filesystem.  I
assume that when setfacl recursed those directories it thus managed to
gain access to the root of my filesystem.  Now when I use setfacl -RP -m
u:[username]:[access rights] /nfs it works properly.  Thanks for your
concern.
