I disagree. I think you've misread my example ACL (may be my sloppy notation, sorry) or misunderstood the ACL evalutation algorithm. > Mode equivalence get's even trickier when you > throw in permissions just beyond rwx (for example, by Windows > standards, the usage of the execute bit on directories is weird > (they have a separate permission in their ACE's for directory > listing), or by VMS standards, write permission on a directory > doesn't mean that you can delete things in it (VMS actually had a > separate bit for the delete permission, and even had separate > permissions for system access)). I believe these patches handle all of those details correctly; if you see anything to the contrary, please do speak up. Note that Windows also has a DELETE bit, though it is ORed with the directory permission not ANDed (so it is sufficient for the directory to allow MAY_DELETE_CHILD *or* for the file to allow DELETE). (But I believe you're correct that VMS required both permissions, if e.g. http://www.djesys.com/vms/freevms/mentor/vms_prot.html is correct). --b. > > > >I think the choices you've made probably make the most sense, they just > >wouldn't have been obvious to me.
