Hello, I am playing around with some privileges in an authdb file when using the unix security protocol and I have some questions as to precedence of entries in the file. In the example of fungible paths, an example is given with: u * /xrd lr u = /xrd/users/@=/ a but in the header of the section there is a line that mentions: "The privileges associated with first prefix that matches an incoming path name are considered to be the applicable privileges." Assuming that user bob want to write a file at /xrd/user/bob/somefile, why is it that the second rule is used, rather than the first, since /xrd is a prefix that matches? Additionally, can the same identifier be used multiple times? u bob /some/path lr u bob /some/path/additional a or cant this only be done as: u bob /some/path/additional a /some/path lr Regards, Patrick
