[OpenIndiana-discuss] ACL problem

[Michelle]

Hi Folks,

I've been having problems with ACL's. My understanding is just not
getting there and reading the Solaris ZFS Administration Guide isn't
sinking in.

This is roughly what I want to do...

User, Joe
Group Family
Other

Set up a directory, (say Movies) to which Joe is the owner. Family can
access and read, but not write, and Other can't access at all.

Joe's ownership of files and all ACL permissions are to be propagated to
any file or directory created, by whatever means, be it SFTP or CIFS
access to the share.

There is another situation where I want "Family" to be able to create,
delete and modify files and directories freely, but for ownership of
file and directories to still explicitly be Joe.

There is a chance that my previous experiments may be messing things up,
so the other question is, does deleting a directory and re-instating it
clear all previous extended permission settings, or must I issue a
command to clear all flags before my next failed attempt :-) ... as
obviously deleting the .$EXTEND file is not allowed.

Many thanks,

Michelle.
