Description Bernd Bartmann 2003-12-06 22:38:06 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031114

Description of problem:
I'm running RHES3 with kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL.i686.rpm. ACLs are
enabled for / (ext3 on software-RAID1) and /home is NFS exported.

Some tests to see that ACLs work on the server:
[bart@picard acltest]$ touch testfile
[bart@picard acltest]$ mkdir testdir
[bart@picard acltest]$ ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x    2 bart     bart         4096 Dec  6 23:26 testdir
-rw-rw-r--    1 bart     bart            0 Dec  6 23:26 testfile
[bart@picard acltest]$ setfacl -m u:dummy:r test*
[bart@picard acltest]$ ls -l
total 12
drwxrwxr-x+   2 bart     bart         4096 Dec  6 23:26 testdir
-rw-rw-r--+   1 bart     bart            0 Dec  6 23:26 testfile

Now on the NFS client (Fedora Core 1
kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl.i686.rpm) I get some strange results:

Before setfacl on the server:
[bart@riker acltest]$ ls -l
insgesamt 4
drwxrwxr-x    2 bart     bart         4096  6. Dez 23:26 testdir
-rw-rw-r--    1 bart     bart            0  6. Dez 23:26 testfile

After setfacl on the server:
[bart@riker acltest]$ ls -l
insgesamt 8
drwxrwxr-x    2 bart     bart         4096  6. Dez 23:26 testdir
-rw-r--r--    1 bart     bart            0  6. Dez 23:26 testfile
[bart@riker acltest]$ getfacl testfile
# file: testfile
# owner: bart
# group: bart
user::rw-
group::r--
other::r--

As you can see the w-permission for group is not displayed anymore.

Comment 1 Bernd Bartmann 2004-01-08 15:14:43 UTC
The problem still exists using the current errata kernels:

RHES3: kernel-2.4.21-4.0.2.EL.i686.rpm
FC1: kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2140.nptl.i686.rpm

Comment 2 Steve Dickson 2004-02-03 21:32:44 UTC
Does 'getfacl testfile' on the server show the correct output?
It didn't for me, which could mean this is an ext3 issue not
an nfs one...

Comment 3 Bernd Bartmann 2004-02-03 21:39:19 UTC
The output from getfacl testfile on the server looks ok to me:

[bart@picard acltest]$ getfacl testfile
# file: testfile
# owner: bart
# group: bart
user::rw-
user:dummy:r--
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--
