JFS ACLs - Default directory entries

I have a directory /home/u100 that I have set up ACLs with as such:

# file: /home/u100
# owner: u100
# group: AJP
user::rwx
user:informix:rwx
group::r-x
class:rwx
other:---
default:user:informix:rwx
default:class:rwx

According to the documentation, when a file is created under this directory it should inherit the ACL for the directory as define by the defaults, but I always get this, as an example, when a new file is created:

# file: /home/u100/test22.txt
# owner: u100
# group: AJP
user::rw-
user:informix:rwx #effective:r--
group::r--
class:r--
other:---

I have to, for every file, explicitly change the class entry to rwx before the "effective" will become the actual. This of course makes the use of defaults pointless. What am I doing wrong?

OS: 11iv3

ACL version: AccessControl B.11.31.05 HP-UX Role-Based Access Control Infrastructure

/home/u100: vxfs file system version 7 layout

Thanks.

Re: JFS ACLs - Default directory entries

I opened a ticket and found that this is an issue that has persisted over the last 4-5 patch releases of HP RBAC. Next patch which they state should be out this month is supposed to fix it.

Re: JFS ACLs - Default directory entries

I meant JFS ACL above, not RBAC. Two different things.
