Comment 2 for bug 1152137

Remi,

thanks for the reply. It isn't really a bug in our setup - more of a feature.

We use NetApp fileservers that support multi-mode filestores so we can use NTFS ACLs
and Unix permissions on the same filestore. Most of our users use Windows, so home directory
access is controlled with Windows ACLs. However, any files created by Linux should have normal
Unix permissions. We could have also seen the same problem using NFS4 ACLs instead of NTFS ACLs.

I'll have another look at our permissions to see if it is possilble to make the home directory
appear to be owned by the user, but it still seems like an unecessary check to me.
