Use of the "effective rights mask"
Hey everyone,
Small question regarding ACLs (access control lists): can you give me some usage scenarios for the "effective rights mask"? It doesn't apply to the "owner" or "other" users but can affect all other users/groups. Why?! What is so special about "other" users? Ok, I could use it to restrict users afterwards (doesn't seem the right way...!) ... it doesn't look useful at all ???! Code:
[iggi@localhost ~]$ getfacl file Quote:

Sounds like it's a max rights limit ie stops you (or anyone else) accidentally granting more rights than you wanted to eg named users.
In general, you'd want all rights to yourself, none to others, and then fine-grained rights to a few people (or groups) that you want to share with, but different rights for each. Unix's ugo => rwx perms std doesn't go that far. |
