Hi,
I know it's documented in the manual, but I find it a bit strange behaviour that chmod -R changes the permissions of the target of a symbolic link. This just really messed up my system, where I have a data directory, with a backup of some Linux systems. Within these Linux systems, there are some absolute links like -> /usr/bin/bash So, what I did, was set some NFSv4 ACLs recursively on this "data" directory like: chmod -R A=group:admins:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd-----:allow,group:it:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd-----:allow /array0/data What I then found is /usr/bin/bash and a whole lot of other files in /usr/lib /lib and /usr/sbin look like: ----------+ 1 root root 1019 Feb 22 14:31 bash group:admins:rwxpdDaARWcCos:------I:allow group:it:rwxpdDaARWcCos:------I:allow >From here, I can only think of backing out the last update and updating again. I noticed the GNU chmod won't change the ACL of the target. Is there any reason for this behaviour? Have I missed something? Regards John Ryan
