Sometime in the last few months, setfacl stopped accepting two colons (::) after the keyword "other", as in this example:
$ setfacl -s user::rw-,group::r--,other::r-- filename setfacl: illegal acl entries But the setfacl(1) man page continues to show the invalid syntax: o[ther]::perm The following patch to the man page source fixes this. Hope this helps. -- Fran --- setfacl.1.orig 2011-04-12 15:14:54.156952000 -0400 +++ setfacl.1 2011-04-12 15:15:13.475952000 -0400 @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ .br m[ask]::perm .br - o[ther]::perm + o[ther]:perm .br .PP -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
