From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 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 Additional info:
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.
