From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

FACL, Get effective: --- (self.linux)

Hi,

I've set for a directory the following

setfacl -dm u:aUser:r aDirectory
#set new files to be readable by aUser

cp ~/Desktop/aFile.txt /xx/xx/xx/aDirectory

getfacl aFile.txt #the copied one

# file: aFile.txt
# owner: me
# group: me
user::rwx
user:aUser:r--
group::r-x
mask::rwx
other::rwx

So indeed we see the aUser got r--

but

stat aFile.txt

return

(0777/-rwxrwxrwx) #!!!!

is that normal !!!!???

Thanks.

Update, this is only happening when I copy files from a ~SMB share... :'(
Otherwise it's correct...

SMB is originally Windows tech. So it might not play nicely with file modes?

SMB is weird, do you have the option to run NFS on the share instead? Since NFS is made for Unix systems, it's what I've always gone for.
