Ahh, soo desu nee......<light bulb goes on>
Just a lack of understanding of POSIX acls on my part and Mark's. Any good
suggested reading to help us out?
Let me see if I've got this straight...the user:: acl gives ANY user its
permissions. Then I have to ask what the point of "other" is when at first
glance it seems like the generic user:: acl would do the trick. A deeper
understanding will help. Smack me.
