Issue with setfacl
Hi Experts,

I have set access control to a directory which is under / as /proj1 and set the access to user1 as below

Quote:
#setfacl –m user:user1:wrx,umask:wrx /proj1
Once I logging as user1 I am able to create and modify the file which is created by user1 however I am unable to edit / modify the file which is own by root.

Please help!

Thet setfacl operation specified operates only on the directory, not anything below it. New files in that directory will inherit the properties you set on the directory, but existing files will be unchanged.

Yes, it’s not allowing the user1 to modify the files which are own by root.
