Description of problem:
When you type "ls -Z" some entries will be reported as containing ACLs (through a '+' appended to the Unix permission mode) when they don't contain any ACLs.  This is due to the boolean representing the ACL state not being correctly initialised.

Stephen Smalley suggested the following patch to solve the problem:

        {
          int n = file_has_acl (path, &f->stat);
          f->have_acl = (0 < n);

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run "ls -lZ" on a SE Linux system and observe that one entry will falsely have a '+' appended to it.

Actual Results:  [root@fedora-se rjc]# ls -lZ /root
-rw-r--r--  root     rjc      root:object_r:user_home_ro_t     answers_to_questions.txt
-rw-r--r--+ root     root     root:object_r:user_home_ra_t     thanks.txt_append_only_dont_edit_with_vi
[root@fedora-se rjc]#

Expected Results:  [root@fedora-se rjc]# ls -lZ /root
-rw-r--r--  root     rjc      root:object_r:user_home_ro_t     answers_to_questions.txt

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2004-06-07 13:35:56 UTC
I used a slightly different patch:
