- You CAN NOT deny yourself access to an object owned by you with an ACL !
-
- If you study the flowchart in figure 4-4 in Guide to System Security, you will
- see it documented.
-
- Alternatively try:
-
- CREATE Z.Z
- CTRL/Z
- SET ACL/ACL=(ID=yourusername,AC=NONE) Z.Z
- DELETE/LOG Z.Z;*
-
- which works OK !
-
- ACL's are not the problem (but maybe ownership!).
