t appears that if a directory had the AD privilege, but not the WD privilege, then they would be able to create a directory but not a file in that directory. Not so. To the best of my ability to verify this--it's a pain to do--there is no combination of inherited ACLs that will allow you to create a directory and then not be able to create a file within that directory. The only circumstances I can envisage whereby this situation might come about without explicit setting of ACLs by the OP, is via Perl's emulation of the umask thing; or perhaps via cygwin's emulation of persistent umasks. But that all I can say on the subject as I'm not sufficiently conversant with the real thing to try and access whether the emulations are screwed or not. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
