Hi,

when I copy a file to a directory, using whatever tool, it seems the 
behavior of the mask is wrong.

user1 at host1:~> getfacl source/test1
# file: source/test1
# owner: user1
# group: grp1
user::rw-
group::r--
other::r--

user1 at host1:~> getfacl target/
# file: target
# owner: user1
# group: grp1
user::rwx
group::---
group:grp1:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::---
default:group:grp1:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---

user1 at host1:~> cp source/test1 target/
user1 at host1:~> getfacl target/test1
# file: target/test1
# owner: user1
# group: grp1
user::rw-
group::---
group:grp1:rwx                 #effective:r--
mask::r--
other::---

I'd expected the effective mask of the file in the destination directory to 
be rwx. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

I'm on a SLES10SP1 x86_64.

Linux nfspublic 2.6.16.57-0.9-xen #1 SMP Mon Jan 21 19:55:27 UTC 2008 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I guess I do sth. wrong, but what?

thanks
sebastian
