[SOLVED] Default ACL on a directory

[neylitalo]

This is the ACL I have set on a directory:

 

# file: public_html
# owner: neal
# group: apache
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:other::---

 

Yet, when I do:

 

~/public_html $ touch testfile

 

I get these permissions:

 

-rw-r----- 1 neal apache 0 Oct 12 01:44 testfile

 

Instead of what I should be seeing: -rwxr-x---

 

Is there something wrong with my ACL? Should I be using masks instead?

Never mind... it seems that default ACLs only set the x bit when you create a directory. Which makes sense - new files created shouldn't be executable.

 

Solved.
