How to make new directories inherit their parent's ACL?

  • 772

I have set default permissions for new files and groups in my directory like this

sudo setfacl -d -m g::rwX /<directory>

It works great. The problem is, that if I create any new files or directories in child directories of <directory>, the ACL I set no longer affects them. How can I make sure that the permissions above will also be applied to any new files or directory which are located anywhere under <directory>

permissions files 16.04 acl

  1. Use the -Rdm (recursive) options.

    • R for recursive
    • d for future changes; the R takes care of everything below it.
    • m for add and modify rules.
