 From acl(5):

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN ACL ENTRIES AND FILE PERMISSION BITS

      The permissions defined by ACLs are a superset of the permissions
      specified by the file permission bits.

      There is a correspondence between the file owner, group, and other
      permissions and specific ACL entries: the owner permissions 
correspond
      to the permissions of the ACL_USER_OBJ entry. If the ACL has an 
<==== yes, but ...
      ACL_MASK entry, the group permissions correspond to the permissions 
of
      the ACL_MASK entry.

 From setfacl(1);

OPTIONS

-n, --no-mask
            Do not recalculate the effective rights mask. The default
            behavior of setfacl is to recalculate the ACL mask entry, 
unless
            a mask entry was explicitly given.  The mask entry is set to 
the <==== Oh, ah!
            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).


setfacl.c:

int
recompute_mask (aclent_t *tgt, int tcnt, int got_mask, int got_def_mask)
{
...
  /* Recompute mask, if requested
      - If we got a mask in the input string, recompute only if --mask 
has been
        specified.
...
Your call, Corinna ... but reading setfacl(1)

Regards,

Henri
