Hi everyone,

I am trying to assign a group of programmers to a folder so that all users in that group can create, edit, and delete any files/folders inside that folder. Lets say that I created user1, user2, and a group called coders. The folder that I want all coders to be able to access will be named html.

First i set the default ACL on the html folder so that the group coders would have all permissions.

Code:
setfacl -R -d -m g:coders:rwx html

getfacl html

# file: resources
# owner: root
# group: coders
user::rwx
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:coders:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x
This should force all new folders to have all permissions for group coders. Next, I gave all permissions to all folders and files under html for coders.

Code:
setfacl -R -m g:coders:rwx html
Now, if I use winscp to create a new file with user1, and then try to overwrite that file with user2 I get a permissions error. What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,
Metropolis
