No. This is only a recent thing, since I upgraded to RH7.1. I have used
reiserfs for a long time without any problems of this nature. Whether or
not this is a filesystem issue is beyond my knowledge.. hence me asking
the lists. The reason I suspect it is a filesystem issue is that during
the process of making my root filesystem reiserfs, I could happily
create files with correct permissions (Fileyestem pre-converted was one
big partition as ext2).

I concede that this could well be a bug in ACL and/or capabilities patch,
and have mailled the relevant list also. First person to figure it out
gets a beer ! *grin*
