User cannot access a file after setting an ACL [duplicate]

Question

I cannot enter a directory after creation in a folder with an ACL: I am attempting to limit rwx access to a folder for just a single group and no one else. I would like to be able to add new users to a group and have them gain access to a directory.

This is what I have done so far

1. mkdir /mnt/files
2. cp /media/usb0/backup/* /mnt/files
3. chgrp filers /mnt/files
4. chmod -R g+s /mnt/files
5. setfacl -b /mnt/files # to remove user and other
6. setfacl -R -d -m g:filers:rwx /mnt/files

7. getfacl /mnt/files

   # file: mnt/files/
   # owner: root
   # group: filers
   user::---
   group::rwx
   other::---
   default:user::---
   default:group::rwx
   default:group:filers:rwx
   default:mask::rwx
   default:other::---
   

So far everything looks good . . .

8. cd /mnt/files
9. mkdir test

10. ls -l

    d---rws---+ 2 jimmy filers 4096 Nov 28 14:32 test
    

11. cd test

    -bash: cd: test/: Permission denied
    

Any reason I can't enter the folder I just created?

12. getfacl ./test

    # file: test
    # owner: jimmy
    # group: filers
    # flags: -s-
     user::---
     group::rwx
     group:filers:rwx
      mask::rwx
     other::---
     default:user::---
     default:group::rwx
     default:group:filers:rwx
     default:mask::rwx
     default:other::---
    

Answer 1

Any particular reason why owner doesn't have full permissions? Owner's permissions take precedence. As a root, you can do anything, but as a regular user if you remove rwx for a directory you own, you cannot enter it since you don't have a search bit (x). It does not matter that you are in a group that have permissions. Right know, user jimmy cannot enter his directory, but paradoxically just about any other user in a group filers can. I'd say step 6 should be setfacl -R -d -m u::rwx,g:filers:rwx /mnt/files
