Directory rights inheritance

Directory rights inheritance

When I set 's' group right on directory, then directory and files created in this directory has group set to parent directory. But any ACL rights are fogotten.
Is possible to inherit ACL rights to child directories or files?

Re: Directory rights inheritance

i don't think there is a way on unix to inherit ACL from the parent directory. But you can control the mode the file/directory gets created by using umask.

But i think using AFS or SAMBA you may be able to control the ACL for a file at the directory level
