This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig6780E7ECABB5EE87B842D650 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If I have acls enabled on a file, running chmod g=3Drw on that file, will not change its group permissions, but the acl mask. That is, running the following command: $ chmod g=3Drw foo =2E.. is equivalent with $ setfacl -m m::rw- =2E.. and not, as I would suspect: $ setfacl -m g::rw- In other words, foo will not be read/writable by its default group after the command have been run (unless it was already). I find this behaviour to be very confusing. It might be the correct bahaviour, but if so maybe the chmod(1) manpage, and possibly chmod(2), should be updated to document this?
