RE: Problem with SETFACL and shortcuts?

["Harre Mark VIE" <Mark dot Harre at eurambank dot com>]

Thx Corinna

That explains it better for me - I was a little confused by the
relationship between windows shortcuts and *nix symlinks.

If I may ask another question regarding setfacl.
I would like to use setfacl on all subdirs but unlike chmod it doesn't
have a recursive option (unless I missed it somewhere?) so I use the
following bash script:

	cd /
	chown Administrators:None .
	IFS=${IFS// /} # processes files with spaces
	for file in $( find /. )
	do
	    setfacl -s u::rwx,g::r-x,o::r-x "$file"
	Done
	# now set ACLs for home dirs and SSHD etc...

It works but is a little slow.  I could use chmod -R 755 . but I found
that setfacl does a better job at resetting *all* the NT ACLs to what I
want.  Is there a more efficient method?

Regards,
Mark

This is a problem of the terminfo link itself.  It's defined like this:

$ ls -l /lib/terminfo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user grp 125 Sep 7 21:26 /lib/terminfo -> ../share/terminfo

The problem is that the terminfo directory is actually
/usr/share/terminfo, not /share/terminfo.  So the relative symlink only
works correct when resolved from /usr/lib/terminfo, not from
/lib/terminfo:

$ getfacl /usr/lib/terminfo
# file: /usr/lib/terminfo
# owner: user
# group: grp
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:SYSTEM:rwx
mask:rwx
other:---
default:user::---
default:group:SYSTEM:rwx
default:group:grp:rwx
default:mask:rwx


Chuck, would it make sense to change the symlink to an absolute one?
