Subject: bug#14371: Argument --parents ignores default ACLs

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello there,
Stumbled on to this when I discovered permissions issues on directories
created from a script.  The -p option ignores default ACLs set on the
parent directory.

Note that the mkdir -p command does not seem to give the g+w attribute to
new directories. Even the bar directory is missing it.

[root <at> server mirror_crop]# mkdir -p foo/bar
[root <at> server mirror_crop]# mkdir foobar

[root <at> server mirror_crop]# ll -d foobar
drwxrws---+ 2 root apache 4096 May  8 09:37 foobar
[root <at> server mirror_crop]# ll -d foo
drwxr-s---+ 3 root apache 4096 May  8 09:36 foo

[root <at> server mirror_crop]# getfacl foo
# file: foo
# owner: root
# group: apache
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other::---

[root <at> server mirror_crop]# getfacl foobar
# file: foobar
# owner: root
# group: apache
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other::---

And to show the default...
[root <at> server virtualmirror]# getfacl mirror_crop/
# file: mirror_crop/
# owner: root
# group: apache
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other::---

It appears that -p is actually using the umask where without -p it uses the
defaults =)
