676.0. "Subtle change in BACKUP and ACL on 6.2?" by UTRTSC::DORLAND (The Wizard of Odz2) Tue Jun 03 1997 08:44

    Hello,
    
    I know that there are changes in BACKUP behaviour as of VMS 6.2
    with respect to ACL propagation.
    
    The procedure below shows this:
    
    $ CREATE X.X
    $ CREATE Y.Y
    $ SET FILE/ACL=(ID=SYSTEM,ACCESS=READ) X.X
    $! Here goes...
    
    $ BACUP Y.Y X.X/NEW
    
    On 6.1 the original ACL is inherited for X.X;2 , on 6.2 not.
    
    Is this intended behaviour? In other words , is the 6.1 behaviour
    to be considered as a bug?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Ton Dorland
