Subject: Constructing a NFSv4 ACL from POSIX mode bits
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 12:33:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120724193348.GA4977@netapp.com> (raw)

Bruce,

In looking at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-acl-mapping-05, it
states that when mapping the write bit, only for the owner do we set
ACE4_WRITE_ACL.

Back in version 00, it is open as to whether we can also set it for the
group and other if they have the write bit set.

I looked back at the NFSv4 WG aliases and I see some discussion from Lisa
on how Solaris only ever sets it for the owner due to POSIX restrictions
via chmod(). So, now I know how another server does it.

What does the Linux server do in this case?

Thanks,
Tom
