What were you trying to do?
Update an ACL file by snapping its symbolic link and editing a
new file.
What's wrong:
libacl.a doesn't notice when a file changes if it was a symlink.
I edited an acl by snapping a symlink to it, and creating a new
file. The access routines didn't notice the change.
What should have happened:
It should have noticed that the file had changed completely. I
suspect the same thing will happen if a file is renamed and recreated.
It does the Right Thing if a file is modified in place.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
it's missing, see next report
