To make it clear what I meant by 'but reading setfacl(1)' (previous 
post):

 From setfacl(1):

OPTIONS

  -n ...

(description)
The default behavior of setfacl is to recalculate the ACL mask entry, 
unless
a mask entry was explicitly given.

(my interpretation)
  - unless a mask entry with "less privileges" was specified (i.e. given) 
...
    (i.e. the mask must still be (internally) recalculated , using the 
rules as
     stated further down)

What I mean to say, is:
  - the mask entry should be the calculated mask, unless the specified 
(i.e. given)
    mask takes away one or more of the privileges of the calculated mask.
    if so, the mask entry should be the calculated mask, save for the 
privileges
    that have been taken away ...

(description continued)
The mask entry is set to the union of all permissions of the owning 
group, and
all named user and group entries.
(These are exactly the entries affected by the mask entry).

Regards,
Henri
