<br>
There is a daemon process that gets data and must then write it out<br>
into a project directory in GPFS. The project directory is owned by the<br>
project owner, and has the setgid bit set on the directory. This is so<br>
that members of the group can read/write/etc files put in the<br>
directory. The daemon is not a member of the project group.<br>
<br>
The daemon process used to run as root, however, my goal with ACLs is<br>
to enable it to write into project dirs, without needing to change the<br>
effective UID/GID (or be a member of the group) - so, in this case, it<br>
runs as a regular user. The ACL should allow it to write into the<br>
project directory. Essentially, the ACL is to enable the daemon to run<br>
as a regular user. Once the data is written, the Daemon will (likely)<br>
never access the data again, only the users in the project.<br>
<br>
So, my goal is to have the daemon write files owned by the project<br>
Group (so, with g+rw), as the project users would just use the standard<br>
posix permissions to access the data. I suppose I'm trying to blend the<br>
use of ACLs and standard posix perms. More importantly, I'm trying to<br>
get rid of the execute bit that new files are created with/inherited.<br>

I'm trying to get the files to be created with 0660 perms (currently,<br>
they are created 0770). I've tried playing with the `rwxc` in the first<br>
line of the NFS4 ACL definition, with no luck (it seems to ignore that,<br>
except for error checking). E.g. I've tried removing the `x`, which<br>
passes the syntax check but doesn't seem to change anything.<br>
<br>
so, daemon uses ACLs to write/create files, users use posix perms to<br>
access/modify those files.<br>

It's pure NFSv4<br>
-D nfs4 File locking semantics in effect<br>
-k nfs4 ACL semantics in effect<br>

<br>
I confess, I was hoping to mix the perms so as not to change our<br>
processes too much. (we currently use reg. posix perms to enable group<br>
writes [via sgid])<br>
