Description of problem: After upgrading to coreutils-4.5.3-28.7 under RedHat Linux AS 3, update 9, the "+" symbol that indicated an ACL was active on a particular file/directory no longer displayed. The ACL was still active as indicated by getfacl. Reverting to coreutils-4.5.3-28.4 restored correct behavior. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-4.5.3-28.4 How reproducible: on our systems, very reproducable Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure RHEL3up9 with all errata installed 2. enable acl support on a filesystem # mount -o remount,acl / 3. create a file and assign an ACL # cd /tmp # touch foo # ls -l foo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 8 08:22 foo # setfacl -m 'u:nobody:rwx' foo # ls -l foo Actual results: -rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 0 Aug 8 08:22 foo Expected results: -rw-rwxr--+ 1 root root 0 Aug 8 08:22 foo Additional info: I verified the ACL is working as follows: # touch foo # chmod 600 foo # ls -l -rw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 8 08:24 foo # echo "blah" > foo # sudo -u nobody cat foo cat: foo: Permission denied zsh: exit 1 sudo -u nobody cat foo # setfacl -m 'u:nobody:rwx' foo # sudo -u nobody cat foo blah
