I believe it should accept the ACL. If it doesn't then a client trying to use nfsv4 acl's to store posix acl's (using for example http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/marius/draft-eriksen-nfsv4-acl-02.txt) won't work; such a client depends on the server accepting and returning verbatim ACLs that have entries that are ineffective (because the mask is zero, or because they deny bits that have already been denied) but that carry information for clients (for example, to reconstruct mode bits and the posix mask ace). --Bruce Fields _______________________________________________ nfsv4 mailing list nfsv4@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nfsv4
