Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a real problem or not, but if I set a group ACL on a file, and then set a mask, when running getfacl the group names are not listed. I'm running 5.1 RELEASE. The following sequence commands show the problem (I create a file, display the ACL, set a group ACL, display the ACL, set a mask, and then display the ACL again. The problem is with the final display - the group name is not displayed). # touch testfile # getfacl testfile #file:testfile #owner:0 #group:0 user::rw- group::r-- other::r-- # setfacl -m g:staff:rwx testfile # getfacl testfile #file:testfile #owner:0 #group:0 user::rw- group::r-- group:staff:rwx mask::rwx other::r-- # setfacl -m m::rx testfile # getfacl testfile #file:testfile #owner:0 #group:0 user::rw- group::r-- group::rwx # effective: r-x mask::r-x other::r-- Attached is a proposed patch to lib/libc/posix1e/acl_to_text.c to correct this problem. Please note that this patch has not been tested as the computer I'm testing on won't build world :( (cheap computer with cheap components). The source used is actually CURRENT as of Tuesday July 22nd. I admit that there may be a reason why the user name is not shown which I don't know about :). Feedback is greatly appreciated.
