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
