Hm, I'm a little unsure about this step: it seems like the one step that
can actually change the permissions (making them more permissive, in
this case), whereas the others are neutral.
The following two steps should fix that, but I'm not sure they do.
E.g. if I have an ACL like
mask 0777, WRITE_THROUGH
GROUP@:r--::allow
I think it should result in
OWNER@: rwx::allow
GROUP@: -wx::deny
GROUP@: r--::allow
EVERYONE@:rwx::allow
But does the GROUP@ deny actually get in there? It looks to me like the
denies inserted by richacl_isolate_group_class only take into account
the group mask, not the actual permissions granted to any group class
user.
I may be mising something.
