Hi,

In CVSNT 2.0.58d the fileattr.xml files in newly created
directories only contained the owner who created the
directory and all ACLs were inherited from parent directories.

Now with 2.5.01.1927 the newly created fileattr.xml seems
to contain a copy of all ACLs that were effective for the
parent directory and also seems to have two <owner> entries,
the owner of the new directory and the owner of the parent
directory.

Is this behavior change intentional or is something now
going wrong ?

I prefer the "old way" where changing ACLs on module top
level caused them to be automatically inherited to lower
level directories without having to change all fileattr.xml
files.

Actually it can have more than two owners because it has all the owners of
all folders in the path to this folder.
