Description Jeff Means 2005-01-24 19:52:44 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
When i issue the command 'setfacl -R -m u:[user]:rwx /[directory]'
setfacl processes the entire filesystem.  I believe it is because
directory entries . and .. get processed and acted upon.  I do not
think this is the expected behavior at least it is not what I expect
to happen.

I am using jfs for my filesystem along with setfacl version 2.2.23
running under Fedora Core 3 with all updates applied.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
acl-2.2.23-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. issue setfacl command with -R switch specifying a directory below
the root
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  entire filesystem gets acl's applied to it

Expected Results:  only files contained in that directory and below
would have acl's modified

Please test this again with a newer Fedora Core version (>= 4) and reopen
against this version if the bug is still present.

Closing as "NOT A BUG" for now.
