Problems with coreutils-6.12.70-4f470

[Peter Fales]

I decided to have a look at the latest coreutils-6.12.70-4f470, and I'm
seeing a new problem on Solaris 8.  (Both sparc and x86)

It seems that on Solaris, you can't simply copy the ACLs using GETACL/SETACL
if the source file is in /tmp.  This causes qcopy_acl() to fail with an
error, and can be demonstrated with the following program.  Copying the
ACLs from /foo works, but copying from /tmp/foo fails with EINVAL:

#include <sys/acl.h>
#include <sys/fcntl.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int count, fd, i, res;
aclent_t *entries;


        char *file[] = { "foo", "/tmp/foo" };

        open("bar",O_WRONLY|O_CREAT,0644);
        
        for ( i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++ ) {

                open(file[i],O_WRONLY|O_CREAT,0644);
                
                count =  acl (file[i], GETACLCNT, 0, NULL);
        
                entries = (aclent_t *) malloc (count * sizeof (aclent_t));

                res = acl (file[i], GETACL, count, entries);

                res = acl ("bar", SETACL, count, entries);
                if ( res < 0 ) {
                        perror(file[i]);
                }
        }
}
