[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5492) Restrictive file permissions:
permissions removed also for owner on NTFS if Acl does not contain explicit
entry for owner
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5492?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13146253#comment-13146253 ]
Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5492:
-------------------------------------------
I ran a quick test on the Windows machine where we saw the failures in the nightly tests. I ran the derbynet test suite and verified that it failed with permission problems without the patch and passed with the patch.
Tiny nit: The patch adds an import for the Monitor class, but it doesn't use it. The rest of the changes look good to me.

> It turns out that the file owner does not necessarily get an explicit AclEntry; this depends on whether the created file has sufficient permissions already through, say, a permission for everybody to write. The present logic removes all AclEntries except those granted to the file's owner, erroneously presuming there would be such an entry always. This led to all AclEntries being removed.
> This error is seen in Oracle's nightly regressions for Windows, but did not reproduced when running manually on Windows. This was due to different default inherited permissions on the directories in which the regression tests were run.
