  • 1.  Default ACLs for Directory

    Try to force every new file under a specific directory is writable to all group members. However, have done lots of search on google, still failed to implement this.

    In Unix, I can use command setfacl and add this line:
    default:group::rw-

    However, "acledit" command doesn't support key word "default"

    Some articles said that AIXC doesn't support default ACLs for directory but NFS4 ACL does.

    Is there a way I can use AIXC not NFS4 ACL to achieve this?

    Thanks in advance!

    The problem with AIXC-ACLs is, that they do not implement ACL-inheritance. NFS4-type ACLS do provide for inheritence on a relatively granular level. Please note that you do not need to employ a NFS4-filesystem in order to use the NFS4-ACLs. For instance, you can use them on your ordinary jfs2-filesystem as well, as far as you enable extended attributes version 2 on it.
