Greetings, Eliot Moss!
1) If a directory says:
default:users::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other:r-x
and my umask is 022
when I create a new file by "echo test > foo.bar", foo.bar's
perms are 644, not the 755 I would expect.
Why? I'm totally expecting 644 on a FILE.
+x never set by default for files.
Ok, I concede this one, since it works as you describe on a RedHat Linux system.
The mode used in the open/creat call reduces the permissions.
2) If the directory has g+s set (visible from -s- in the flags shown
by getfacl), the directory's group is Cygwin, and my primary group is moss,
then the file gets created with group moss, not group Cygwin (which is
what g+s is supposed to mean, right?)
If "Cygwin" group is part of your token, I would expect Cygwin too, in this
case.
Yes, it is part of the token, and is listed by the 'groups' command.
