freebsd security - Aug 2008 - ACLs overriding umasks?

Hi, list. A few years ago, there were plans to add an option to the 
filesystem ACL implementation that would allow ACLs to override umasks 
when creating files. I haven't been able to find anything else 
conclusive on the matter and was wondering if it was ever implemented. 
Thanks.

Hi Boris:

The quick answer is: no, that hasn't happened yet, but it would be nice to
do
it for 8.0.  There's a large in-progress project as part of Google Summer of
Code to implement NFSv4 ACLs as well, which we should hear more on soon now 
that the summer is wrapping up.
