=head1 DESCRIPTION The fs copyacl command copies the access control list (ACL) from a source directory to each specified destination directory. The source directory's ACL is unchanged, and changes to the destination directory's ACL obey the following rules: =over 4 =item * If an entry on the source ACL does not already exist on the destination ACL, it is added. =item * If an entry exists on both the source and destination ACLs, the permissions from the source ACL entry replace the current permissions on the destination ACL entry. =item * If an entry on the destination ACL has no corresponding entry on the source ACL, it is removed if the B<-clear> flag is included and is unchanged otherwise. In other words, if the B<-clear> flag is provided, the source ACL completely replaces the destination ACL. =back When using this command to copy ACLs between objects in DFS filespace accessed via the AFS/DFS Migration Toolkit Protocol Translator, it is possible to specify files, as well as directories, with the B<-fromdir> and B<-todir> arguments. For more information on copying ACLs between DFS directories and files, refer to the I. =head1 CAUTIONS Do not copy ACLs between AFS and DFS files or directories. The ACL formats are incompatible. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-fromdir> > Specifies the source directory from which to copy the ACL. (Specifying an AFS file copies its directory's ACL, but specifying a DFS file copies its own ACL.) A partial pathname is interpreted relative to the current working directory. =item B<-todir> > Specifies each directory for which to alter the ACL to match the source ACL. (Specifying an AFS file halts the command with an error, but specifying a DFS file alters the file's ACL). A partial pathname is interpreted relative to the current working directory. Specify the read/write path to each directory (or DFS file), to avoid the failure that results from attempting to change a read-only volume. By convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example, C). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through the filespace, see the B reference page. =item B<-clear> Replaces the ACL of each destination directory with the source ACL. =item B<-id> Modifies the Initial Container ACL of each DFS directory named by the B<-todir> argument, rather than the regular Object ACL. This argument is supported only when both the source and each destination directory reside in DFS and are accessed via the AFS/DFS Migration Toolkit Protocol Translator. =item B<-if> Modifies the Initial Object ACL of each DFS directory named by the B<-todir> argument, rather than the regular Object ACL. This argument is supported only when both the source and each destination directory reside in DFS and are accessed via the AFS/DFS Migration Toolkit Protocol Translator. =item B<-help> Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. =back =head1 EXAMPLES The following example command copies the current working directory's ACL to its subdirectory called F. Note that the source directory's ACL is unaffected. Entries on the F directory's that are not on the source ACL of the current directory remain unaffected as well, because the B<-clear> flag is not used. % fs listacl . reports Access list for . is Normal rights: pat rlidwka smith rlidwk Access list for reports is Normal rights: pat rl pat:friends rl Negative rights jones rlidwka % fs copyacl -fromdir . -todir reports % fs listacl . reports Access list for . is Normal rights: pat rlidwka smith rlidwk Access list for reports is Normal rights: pat rlidwka pat:friends rl smith rlidwk Negative rights jones rlidwka =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED To copy an ACL between AFS objects, the issuer must have the C (lookup) permission on the source directory's ACL and the C (administer) permission on each destination directory's ACL. If the B<-fromdir> argument names a file rather than a directory, the issuer must have both the C and C (read) permissions on the ACL of the file's directory. To copy an ACL between DFS objects, the issuer must have the r permission on the source directory or file's ACL and the C (control) permission on each destination directory or file's ACL. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L I =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000.
