Yes, this is a major problem when you introduce ACLs into unix-like systems. A comment in the article mentions the "Richacl" work. A key problem with this work was that even "chmod 777" might not get you out of a situation where an ACL was denying access. It's been over ten years since I've been involved in this; it might have changed. The POSIX draft ACLs had the same problem, where a chmod might not grant you the permission that you're asking for. Back when Solaris implemented POSIX draft ACLs, they needed to change many user-level interfaces (e.g., the chmod command and the ftp daemon) to have a chmod request work the way end users expected. |
