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 at machine ~]$ mkdir mydir [joe at machine ~]$ setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::-,o::- mydir/ [joe at machine ~]$ cd mydir [joe at machine mydir]$ touch testFile.txt [joe at 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
