From a bash shell script, I am creating a folder and storing the mysqldump there. I am sure that there is no command related to permissions in my script. To allow an other user to access these files, I have used ACL, but when he tried to access the file, he got permission denied issue, and issue is with effective permissions of ACL.
The owner of the directory is ola and new user who is trying to access the folder is uber and folder is gettaxi
Permissions of Parent directory
[/omega/olabooktmp]# getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: ola
# group: ola
user::rwx
user:uber:rwx
group::r-x
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:uber:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x
Permissions of Child directory
[/omega/olabooktemp]# getfacl gettaxi/
# file: gettaxi/
# owner: ola
# group: ola
user::rwx
user:uber:rwx #effective:---
group::r-x #effective:---
mask::---
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:user:uber:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x
I see like for new directory gettaxi mask permissions are mask::---, so I think this is causing issue, but I am unable to understand completely and how to solve this issue.
Any suggestions greatly appreicated.
Thank you.
