I've been (and my users) have been using nautilus; drag and drop the
files.. which is a copy (atleast i think).
I've done the copy from gnome-terminal just for testing, and the same
thing happens, plain cp, no -p.
I don't know :)
I'm thinking about running a script that would change the files to the
correct permission.. but this seems like a terrible way to go about
fixing this.
man acl says:
Under "Object Creation and Default ACLs"
1. The new object inherits the default ACL of the containing
directory as its access ACL.
This works great :)
I don't think man acl says anything about copying an object into a
folder and what should happen to it, if it does I don't understand the
words it's using.
How do ACL's work when files get copied from somewhere to somewhere else
(such as my jump drive to my ACL enabled partition)?
Thank you for your consideration Paul. I will be on the lookout for evil
regional gnomes :)
