Hello,

as described on

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327249

the solution seems incomplete as nautilus still doesn't respect the ACLs
when creating new files. Should I open a new bug ? Or do you reopen this
one ?

Thanks,

It is even fixed in the Debian experimental packages. I'm marking it as
closed with the correct version.

There has been few bugs opened about that and they don't have a lot of subscribers, it doesn't look like high priority for the Ubuntu users at the moment. Edgy is not really a corporate version and feisty will be soon available. That might be something to consider for dapper though

I agree for Dapper. Edgy may not be a valid candidate for this patch, but Dapper sure is. I'm willing to bet that anybody that is deploying Ubuntu on a large scale level (e.g. companies/universities who are giving money to the project for support,etc.) is using Dapper because of the LTS. I seriously doubt they want to wait for the next LTS release to have this problem solved.

Hi,

First, I must say I am not an Ubuntu user.

This issue was fixed upstream a quite long time ago, and a patch is
available on GNOME Bugzilla for nautilus 2.14.3[0].

According to the Debian package changelog, it seems another solution was
applied upstream, which could surely be backported for Dapper.

I thus do not understand why this bug would still subsist in Ubuntu,
especially in Dapper!

On Debian, the patch is applied and everything works fine - except a
bug[1] in coreutils which still prevent using folders shared by a group
of users (this also affects nautilus behaviour - just replace cp/mv
commands in the bug report by the copy and cut options in nautilus
contextual menu).

Cheers,
Julien

Julien, the Debian version had several iterations before being correct, we don't hurry upload to stable LTS version and prefer to make sure everything works as expected

I fully understand your point of view for Dapper - you should have explained it this way earlier ;-) I wasn't aware the Debian version needed some many changes.

As for the shared directory case, it's not fixed in my (not so isolate) personal example. The nautilus umask bug is now fixed, but when copying a file to a directory with default ACLs, the latter are not applied (the bug is in coreutils as described earlier) - I do not talk about moving file as I clearly understand your explanations on the other bug report (though I don't think it is end-user-friendly).
As far as I know, this is not a bug due to a patch in the Debian/Ubuntu packages.

Cheers,
Julien

When creating a file in Nautilus 2.14.3 (Dapper) permissions are not updated as per the umask setting defined in /etc/profile. When umask is changed from default 022 to 002 this should give the group write access with file permissions of 664, but Nautilus maintains file permissions of 600. This causes problems when a group should have write access as a default.
Please fix Dapper and later versions asap. Thanks.

I don't have Dapper any more to test it, but this was supposedly fixed
to dapper. Try creating a file called .gnomerc in your user's home
directory and placing the umask in it. That has worked in Feisty for
me.
