[SOLVED] set ACL recursively on a directory ??

vikas027 · 08-28-2008, 05:32 AM

Hi all,

I need to apply acl on for a particular user recursively on a directory.

Pls help.

At present, when I am using command

Code:

setacl -m user:ABC:rwx /any/path

it is just setting acl on that directory, not on the files/folders in it.

Pls help, I did some google work, but could not find anything useful.

Thanks in adv.

Type setfacl –help to see the options. The –R option sets recursive permissions.

Code:

setacl -Rm user:ABC:rwx /any/path

Yes, this works fine in Linux, BUT I am on HP-UX m/c.
I am getting this error.

Code:

nmx002 22: setacl -Rm user:aj172714:rwx /tmp/abc
setacl: illegal option -- R

usage: setacl [-rn]
              [-m [[d[efault]:]u[ser]::operm | perm[,]]
                  [[d[efault]:]u[ser]:uid:operm | perm[,...]]
                  [[d[efault]:]g[roup]::operm | perm[,]]
                  [[d[efault]:]g[roup]:gid:operm | perm[,...]]
                  [[d[efault]:]c[lass]:operm | perm[,]]
                  [[d[efault]:]o[ther]:operm | perm]]
              [-d [[d[efault]:]u[ser]:uid[,...]]
                  [[d[efault]:]g[roup]:gid[,...]]
                  [[d[efault]:]u[ser]::[,]]
                  [[d[efault]:]g[roup]::[,]]
                  [[d[efault]:]c[lass]:[,]]
                  [[d[efault]:]o[ther]:[,]]]
              object(s)

        or

       setacl [-rn]
              -s u[ser]::operm | perm[,]
                 [d[efault]:u[ser]::operm | perm[,]]
                 g[roup]::operm | perm[,]
                 [d[efault]:g[roup]::operm | perm[,]]
                 c[lass]:operm | perm[,]
                [d[efault]:c[lass]:operm | perm[,]]
                 o[ther]:operm | perm[,]
                 [d[efault]:o[ther]:operm | perm[,]]
                 [[d[efault]:]u[ser]:uid:operm | perm[,...]]
                 [[d[efault]:]g[roup]:gid:operm | perm[,...]]
              object(s)

        or

       setacl [-rn] -f file_name object(s)
nmx002 23:

Pls suggest.
