NFSv4 ACL examples setup

With respect to NFSv4 ACL permissions
I shall be using the following setup in a series of examples:

  • An ordinary account, such as, bob.
  • The webservd account; just to make things more interesting.
  • A base directory within ~bob, such as dir1, to play with.
  • The default umask 0022.

So the starting point is as follows:

$ su - bob
Oracle Corporation    SunOS 5.11    11.0    April 2012

bob@box-01:~ $ ll -a
...
drwxr-xr-x   2 bob      staff        2 Jun 20 08:11 dir1

bob@box-01:~ $ ll -dV dir1
drwxr-xr-x   2 bob      staff        2 Jun 20 08:11 dir1
                 owner@:rwxp-DaARWcCos:-------:allow
                 group@:r-x---a-R-c--s:-------:allow
              everyone@:r-x---a-R-c--s:-------:allow

bob@box-01:~ $ umask
0022
