All the problems being described on this list on ACLs and Unix protections
can be resumed in a very simple way:

If the directory is created via Unix, you can safely use chmod (i.e.: mkdir
will remove the e(xpunge) right from %), if you create the directory with
Aegis (crd) you MUST remove the e right before you start using Unix chmod
on files created under it.
DON'T mix up Aegis ACLs with Unix chmod !!!

I got no problem since I use this simple rule. Now the trouble is that the
Domain/IX install uses Aegis to create directories !!! At least it was so at
sr9.2 when I last checked, so protections on Unix dirs are not completely
OK.

Hope this helps,
