[Acl-Devel] setfacl --restore and capital X

[Fabio Muzzi]

Hello acl-devel,

  I  was  trying  to  set  up  an ACL backup procedure, and I have found a
  strange  behaviour  in  setfacl  --restore.  It seems I cannot get it to
  distinguish  between  "x" (execute for every file) and "X" (execute only
  for  directories  or  already  executable  files) in setting the default
  acls.

  I  wanted to set a default acl to group:test:rX (with a capital X, so to
  have   only   directories  that are executable) and if I set it by hand,
  with "setfacl -m -R d:g:test:rX <directory>" it works.

  
  Then  I  tried  editing  a previuous dump of getfacl, that gives execute
  permission  on  both  files  and  directories,  with  lowercase  "x", as
  follows:

# file: acquisti
# owner: root
# group: acquisti
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:direzione:r-x
group:responsabili:r-x
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:direzione:r-x
default:group:responsabili:r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---   

and modified it so that some of the "x" are now uppercase, like this:

# file: acquisti
# owner: root
# group: acquisti
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:direzione:r-X
group:responsabili:r-X
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:direzione:r-X
default:group:responsabili:r-X
default:mask::rwx
default:other::--- 


Now, when I remove every ACL from the "acquisti" directory, and then apply
the previously modified dumop with setfacl --restore, the uppercase "X" in
the dump are restored as if they were lowercase ones, so files and
directories created later all get the default execution acl.

Is this a bug, or I am doing something wrong?
