I have occasionally encountered some difficulty setting the ACL's of a
directory after the creation of a new entry in the registry. After
the creation of the new registry entry, a display of both master and
slave entries (with edrgy -v) confirms its existence. Yet when I
attempt to change ownership of a directory to this new registry entry,
the following error results:
"chacl: unable to change owner to ..., Entry not found (RGYC/Client)"
After a period of time ranging from an hour to a day, and after
repeated attempts at setting the acl's and reading the registry I can
eventually get the chacl command to work.
To elaborate, the following is a transcript from a root login in a BSD
environment - I have added comments in an attempt to improve
readability.
Any comments, suggestions, hints....etc ?
I am running OS 10.2 on various DN3xxx, DN4xxx.

... An entry for John Doe is created in the registry.

edrgy=> add doe 55 "John Doe"
edrgy=> quit

edrgy=> quit
