File: rwx------ (700) Owner Read/Write/Execute on local system an ACL is added which contains one ACE: "FRED" - DENY WRITE FRED is the owner of the file. A local "ls" command will list the file as: rwx------ From an NFS connected machine, the mode will be????? r-x------ or rwx------ If Synchronized that I would assume you mean r-x------. Now a CHOWN is done to CARL so what are the permissions on the file??? rwx------ with an ACE for FRED which denies him WRITE?? So the "Synchronized" ls changes the displayed mode to rwx------ from r-x------? Is the above scenario different if the ACE is OWNER@ ??? ------------------------------------------------- I should note that my intention was the OWNER and GROUP were placeholders which matched the current owner and current group, but were not "storable" values. The real current owner and group would be inserted in the ACE before it went to disk. By having them as "storable" values you can have two ACEs one which refers to the OWNER of the file at any given time and the other refers to a specific user who might now own the file. This was not the intention. - Carl Beame
