setacl -R ... Doesn't work

[GRANDIERE]

With the commande setacl i would like to use the -R option in order to put my acl on all subdirectories.

For exemple :
>>>setacl -mR user:gestjx:r-- p0
illegal entry specification, "R"

>>>setacl -R -m user:gestjx:r-- p0
setacl: illegal option -- R

This option doesn't work !

Thanks for help.

Well
In the man there is no -R option...
So will have to figure out another way to achieve the task.

All the best

Use the find command:

find /starting_dir -type d -exec "setact -m user:gestjx:r-- p0"

The man page for setacl does not refer to a "-R" option, but, the "help" message from setacl itself does mention a "-r".

Anyone know what "setacl -r ..." does?

# setacl -?
setacl: illegal option -- ?
