>Description:
I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, with suiddir set as option in kernel
config and fstab (+ acl support).
My goal is to have a directory (precisely a SVN repo) writable by X
specific users, where all created/modified files remain owned by svn.

I tried following:

	drwx------  7 svn  users  512 21 Mär 17:30 braintrust
	=> user thomas CANT'T write in braintrust  

	setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::---,o::---,u:thomas:rwx braintrust/
	drwx------  7 svn  users  512 21 Mär 17:31 braintrust
	=> user thomas CAN'T write in braintrust - but he got an  
	   default ACL that will apply on all created files in
	   braintrust

	setfacl -m u:thomas:rwx braintrust/
	drwxrwx---+ 7 svn  users  512 21 Mär 17:34 braintrust
	=> user thomas CAN write in braintrust - and all created files  
	   in braintrust got the default ACL

	chmod +s braintrust/
	drwsrws---+ 7 svn  users  512 21 Mär 17:35 braintrust
	=> braintrust get the suidbit/sgidbit, and all files created by  
	   thomas in braintrust should be owned by svn|users
	   BUT: after +s, user thomas CAN'T write anymore in
	   braintrust, the error is not "Permission denied", but
	   "Operation not permitted". However, he can read the
	   directory content. If I do the same with a directory that
	   hasn't ACL's, it works as expected...

If I understand the manpages correctly, this isn't the correct
behavior, but a bug.

The problem isn't unknown:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-February/011797.html

And I post it also on the mailing list:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2007-March/002811.html

I'm available if help is needed.
>How-To-Repeat:
A kernel with UFS_ACL and SUIDDIR support is needed. Also, the file system must be mounted with both options.

cd /tmp
mkdir testDir
chmod u=rwx,g=,o= testDir
chown svn:users testDir
setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::---,o::---,u:thomas:rwx testDir/
setfacl -m u:thomas:rwx testDir/
As user thomas: touch testDir/testFile1
chmod +s testDir/
As user thomas: touch testDir/testFile2

Replace usernames with yours, but don't use root as testDir owner, it must be a different user.
