        It's hard to tell what you're saying here...         

	Saying ``chmod a-w foo'' is supposed to remove all
	write access to a file, including any acls which
	give individuals access to the file.

	Specifically, with a file foo and an simplified acl command
		touch foo
		chmod o-w foo
		acl fred+w foo
	foo should be readable by user (possibly group) abd one other
	person, fred.

	If you then say 
		chmod o-w foo
	then fred's acl should be deleted.


	Is this the behavior you speak of? The standard I'm referencing
	is the ``grey book'', at http://www.radium.ncsc.mil...
