>Description:
setfacl(1) manual does not specify what happens when a user uses
chmod(1) command over a file with ACL entries set.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

The manual should describe a situation when a file is manipulated with chmod(1).

That would be appropriate:
If you use the chmod(1) command to change the file group owner permissions
on a file with ACL entries, both the file group owner permissions and the
ACL mask are changed to the new  permissions. Be aware that the new ACL mask
permissions may change the effective permissions for additional users
and groups who have ACL entries on the file.
