Access control Lists
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me with ACL's. I have a file, say output, created by the root user, member of group other. Its permissions are rwxr--r--. I want only people in group other to have rwx access, but I also want one other user, stephen, member of some_other_group to have rwx access. I added an entry to the acl to give me:
user:stephen:rwx
Logged in as stephen, I can now write to the file but cannot delete it. How is this? If it helps the directory permissions are
rwxr-xr-x root other

Thanks in advance

Deleting a file requires write access to the directory that contains it.
