Change mode drwxrwsr-x+ directory
Hi,

How to change mode "drwxrwsr-x+" in directory.
I'm able to set drwxrwsr-x but "+" is difficult to set.

Code:
~ $ las -las | grep done1
4 drwxrwsr-x+  3 root sfuser  4096 Nov 26 16:39 done1

~ $ getfacl done1
# file: done1
# owner: root
# group: sfuser
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:security:rwx
group:operation:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x

~ $ mkdir done2
~ $ chmod g+ws done2
~ $ ls -las | grep done2
4 drwxrwsr-x  1 3 root sfuser  4096 Nov 26 19:03 done2/


Try with setfacl but still doesn't work
Code:
~ $ setfacl -r -m user:sfuser:rwx -R done2
Usage: setfacl [-bkndRLP] { -m|-M|-x|-X ... } file ...
Try `setfacl --help' for more information.

~ $ setfacl -R -m user:sfuser:rwx done2
setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 6

~ $ setfacl -R -m user:sfuser:rwx done2
setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 6

~ $ setfacl -R user:sfuser:rwx done2
Usage: setfacl [-bkndRLP] { -m|-M|-x|-X ... } file ...
Try `setfacl --help' for more information.

~ $ setfacl -R -M user:sfuser:rwx done2
setfacl: user:sfuser:rwx: No such file or directory

Hi,

Nice one, the "+" is part of the command not the permissions.

The + in the permissions of a file indicate that alternative or additional access controls are in place for that file. In this case an access control list is present.

Once an ACL has been associated with a file, I don't remember if there is any way to remove the ACL from the file without creating a new file with the same contents, removing the file with the ACL, and renaming the new file to have the old name. In the case of a directory, that would be done by creating a new directory, moving files from the old directory (the one with the ACL) into the new directory (the one without an ACL), removing the old directory, and then moving the new directory to have the old directory's name.

For Linux:

Code:
setfacl -b ...

Not sure offhand with Solaris. With Solaris if you chmod to an absolute value (0755, for example), that value is literally absolute - it will wipe out everything else.

You should probably find out what the + is referring to before you delete it. That may remind you there was a reason for it.

getfacl filename
will do it. Look at the man page for explanations because the output is a bit different from ls. Then, as a previous poster mentioned, either of these forms
Quote:
setfacl -b filename
setfacl --remove-all filename
should set the permissions back to regular rwx stuff. It may happen that some of the rwx permissions seem to change. That's because ls reports a kind of summary of the permissions in some cases.
