setfacl on a directory
Hi All,

I am trying to set an ACL for a directory on my Solaris 10 box. I have an application which resides under /opt/CA directory. Application is installed by root and running as root. All log and configuration files are placed under /opt/CA as well.

What I am trying to do is granting access to a user on this application directory. I am using setfacl command as follows:

setfacl -r -m user:test:rwx,mask:rwx /opt/CA


and expecting user test to do everything under /opt/CA. After command execution, user test can create new files, read the current files but can not edit the current files that are owned by root. I can setfacl for the files this is ok for now. But my application is creating new log files that are owned by root so i need to setfacl again. Shortly, setfacl on files is not the solution.

Does anyone have such an occasion before ? What would be the solution in order to enable access to user test ?


Thanks,
Niyazi
