Hi Marc, Here is the information that you requested. When I say that "all permissions on a file are lost", this is at the windows level. In Windows Explorer, we go to open the file in the default program, we get an "Access denied. Contact your administrator." error. When I right click on the file and goto Properties -> Security, I get a "You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings." This usually happens after someone has edited the file. It is not one individual or group that has this issue. It could be anyone within the organization. These files are mostly Microsoft Office files (xls, ppt, and doc).
ACLs of file with permissions lost: #getfacl "BS June 11.2013.xlsx" # file: BS June 11.2013.xlsx # owner: 3000059 # group: users user::rwx user:root:rwx group::--- group:wheel:rwx group:users:--- group:3000007:rwx group:3000059:rwx group:3000064:rwx mask::rwx other::--- ACLs after I copy the file (cp -pr file newfile) getfacl "BS June 11.2013.xlsx.new" # file: BS June 11.2013.xlsx.new # owner: nws # group: users user::rwx user:root:rwx group::--- group:wheel:rwx group:users:--- group:3000007:rwx group:3000059:rwx group:3000064:rwx mask::rwx other::--- As you can see, other then the owner, everything else is the same. Any help would be much appreciated, or if you require more info, please let me know where to look.
