Have an acl on a file 'testfile' that appears to include a userid with a GUID corresponding to some older value for the local system.
I'm gave the old guid a name in /etc/group different from its name, say calling it 'oldname' (where current name, is say, 'curname'). I guess I don't know how to modify an entry to either 1-rename it, or 2 add the new entry. I tried setfacl -x group:oldname:rwx -m group:curname:rwx but got: setfacl: illegal acl entries will setfacl not work for this task? How do you add a new user to the access list -- obviously -x removes a user, but not sure if 'add' is covered by -m or whether or not you 'add' by specifying the new entry. BTW -- is there an easy way to see the numeric values it is using for a given name? Like: group:Local account and member of Administrators group:rwx I remember seeing that, but it isn't in my /etc/group file. Tried getfacl with -n but that doesn't seem to be an option to display a numeric GUID.
