Hello nate, Yes, I use getfacl to see the ACLs but in this case I used a "default ACL" that sets "regular permissions" on new files and thus any new file won't have actually an ACL. In my case, the new file looks like: -rw------- 1 joe joe 0 Oct 29 21:14 testFile.txt If It had any ACL on it... a plus sign would appear at the end of the permission bits, like this: -rw-------+ 1 joe joe 0 Oct 29 21:14 testFile.txt Best regards, Jorge
