I have a folder with UNIX rights that forbid access to me :

ls -l Sources-labo
drwxrwxrw-+ 6 nobody    applications 73728 févr. 25 13:25 Sources-labo

groups
users vault

but the ACL are set so that I should have access anyway (because of the group:users:rwx rule) :

getfacl Sources-labo/
# file: Sources-labo/
# owner: nobody
# group: applications
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:users:rwx
mask::rwx
other::rw-

However I cannot access this directory :

cd Sources-labo/
bash: cd: Sources-labo/: Permission denied

I read that the ACLs are supposed to override UNIX rights. How come I can't access this directory ?

  • Are you a member of the group "users" ? Verify:

    getent group \id -G``

    This will print out what groups the current user is included in.

  • users appears in the list. Plus, I showed the output of groups in the first code sample –  Feb 27 '14 at 14:10
  • Strange...should work so...What is your OS ? –  Feb 28 '14 at 07:47

    Perhaps the filesystem is mounted so it doesn't respect ACLs (option noacl, just running mount should tell)? Perhaps something else, like SELinux, is denying access? – vonbrand Mar 04 '14 at 17:58
