Only when there is no mask do the bits correspond to the group-owner entry. See `man 5 acl` for details. This behavior is good because chmodding a file go-rwx still ensures that only the user-owner can access it and programs that see a file of mode 600 can be confident that only the user-owner can access it. -- Matt McCutchen [email protected] http://hashproduct.metaesthetics.net/ _______________________________________________ acl-devel mailing list [email protected] http://acl.bestbits.at/mailman/listinfo/acl-devel
