Problems regarding default ALCs

[mdet]

Hi there,
on our Systems running Solaris 8 we experience strange behaviour regarding default ACLs.
For some directories having default ACLs creating a file yields correct ACL settings on others it won't.

See this example:

# file: dir1
# owner: john
# group: group1
user::rwx
group::rwx #effective:rwx
group:dba:r-x #effective:r-x
mask:rwx
other:---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:dba:r--
default:mask:rwx
defaultther:---

# file: dir2
# owner: john
# group: group1
user::rwx
group::rwx #effective:rwx
group:dba:r-x #effective:r-x
mask:rwx
other:---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:dba:r--
default:mask:rwx
defaultther:---

As you can see both directories have the same ACL settings (output of "getfacl&quot

Now as user "john" I'm creating files in both of these directories.
$touch ./dir1/testFile
$touch ./dir2/testFile

This is the puzzling result:

# file: dir1/testFile
# owner: john
# group: group1
user::rw-
group::rwx #effective:rw-
group:dba:r-- #effective:r--
mask:rw-
other:---

# file: dir2/testFile
# owner: john
# group: group1
user::rw-
group::rwx #effective:---
group:dba:r-- #effective:---
mask:---
other:---

In the second case the "mask" entry mutated to "---" thus the effective settings for "group" and "group:dba" are masked the appropriate way.

I tried to avoid the mask setting but if you set any of those default ACLs you have to specify all of them.

Any hint is well appreciated.
