FACL, lost in it's behavior..
Hi,
I got FileA that have 640
a getfacl FileA give me
txt
# file: FileA
# owner: me
# group: me
user::rw-
user:aUser:r--
group::r-x #effective:r--
mask::r--
other::---
So it's give me the expected...
but when I do
bash
chmod 600 aFile
getfacl aFile
txt
...
user:aUser:r-- #effective:---
...
mask::---
...
Why suddenly aUser lost his ability to read the file !?!?!
ACLs on Linux can be a bit weird. If I remember correctly, the ACL mask corresponds to the group bit when using masks. Some more details here:
