Syntax error in setfacl man page


Sometime in the last few months, setfacl stopped accepting two colons (::) after
the keyword "other", as in this example:

  $ setfacl -s user::rw-,group::r--,other::r-- filename
  setfacl: illegal acl entries

But the setfacl(1) man page continues to show the invalid syntax:

  o[ther]::perm

The following patch to the man page source fixes this.  Hope this helps.
