From your answer I'm not sure you understand what I'm talking about. By ACL's I mean permissions as described in the acl(5) manpage: permissions that are far more powerful than regular unix permissions. One of the features is that a directory can have a list of default acl's, which should be automatically assigned to any new object created in that directory. Now apparently somebody has decided that when a file is copied, the acl's should be copied, too. Which defeats the concept of default acl for our purposes (users create their document in their homedir and copy it to some shared directory when ready to publish. cheers -- vbi -- The content of this message may or may not reflect the opinion of me, my employer, my girlfriend, my cat or anybody else, regardless of the fact whether such an employer, girlfriend, cat, or anybody else exists.
