Hello, I'm getting quite annoyed at ACLs. I don't understand why this is happening: I have a directory that gets subdirectories created by a web script, but for some reason those directories have different permissions. Here is the parent's default ACL, which as I understand it should be what subdirectories are created with: # getfacl -d private/logs/mail/2007 #file:private/logs/mail/2007 #owner:1005 #group:1005 user::rwx user:www:rwx user:rsync:rwx group::rwx mask::rwx other::--- This is the ACL of a directory created by the script: # getfacl private/logs/mail/2007/10 #file:private/logs/mail/2007/10 #owner:1005 #group:1005 user::rwx user:www:rwx # effective: r-x user:rsync:rwx # effective: r-x group::rwx # effective: r-x mask::r-x other::--- This unfortunately prevents Apache from writing it's log files. Why did the mask change? I know there's some link between the mask and group permissions, or something weird like that, but I thought group being rwx and mask rwx would cause the new mask to also be rwx...maybe other is causing the issue? That seems pretty dumb to me. I've read various pages on ACLs, including the handbook, and I haven't been able to understand this. :( Thanks, Josh
