Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-10213:
----------------------------------------

Here is an example on Linux showing rejection of an attempt to specify permissions in an ACL spec with setfacl -x:

{code}
> setfacl -x user:bruce:rw- file2
setfacl: Option -x: Invalid argument near character 12
{code}

Both of the following are correct syntax:

{code}
setfacl -x user:bruce file2
setfacl -x user:bruce: file2
{code}

[~vinayrpet], if you're interested in taking this, would you please assign the issue to yourself?  Thanks!

> When calling setfacl -x to remove ACL entries, it does not make sense for the entries in the ACL spec to contain permissions.  The permissions should be unspecified, and the CLI should return an error if the user attempts to provide permissions.
