I have been reading the mail list and I want to make sure that I have this correct I am using RedHat Linux 2.4.5-SGI_XFS_1.0.1 I can set the acl if I am the owner of the file, that is under Linux permissions and not acl. I set the group to Domain Admins and try to change the permissions with a user that is in the Domain Admins group but I keep getting an error. I am using chacl from sgi to set the ACL and not getfacl. So is it correct that the only person that can change the acl is the owner and not the group? Thanks for any help.
