[CentOS] Default ACL question (EXECUTE BIT)

Hello everyone,

I'm doing some tests with ACL's and even though I can create a "default" ACL for a directory (that includes "rwx" for the default owner), when I finally create a file wihin that directory the execute bit is chopped off:

[joe@machine ~]$ mkdir mydir [joe@machine ~]$ setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::-,o::- mydir/

[joe@machine ~]$ cd mydir [joe@machine mydir]$ touch testFile.txt [joe@machine mydir]$ ls -l testFile.txt

-rw------- 1 joe joe 0 Oct 29 21:14 testFile.txt

I don't think umask is involved here. As far as I know umask isn't involved when dealing with default ACL's. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure this is by design (security-wise). Is there any way to override this behaviour?

Thanks, Jorge
