I'm new to ACLs. Can someone explain why I'm getting the error below
from setfacl? The current directory is owned by psoft. I want to add an
ACL to the current directory so that only jsmith can add files to it. I
also want psoft to be able to read and delete that file but not change it.

$ ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 psoft psoft 512 Feb 3 09:28 ./

$ getfacl .

# file: .
# owner: psoft
# group: psoft
user::rwx
user:psoft:r-x #effective:r-x
group::r-x #effective:r-x
mask:r-x
other:r-x
default:user::rw-
default:group::---
default:other:---

$ setfacl -m d:u:jsmith:rw- .
Missing user/group owner, other, mask entry
aclcnt 9, file .

you are attempting to use default entry ( d:u:jsmith:rw- )
to use default you must also specify default for group and mask, cannot
just do user default.
setfacl -m d:u:jsmith:rw-,d:u::r-x,d:g::r-x,d:m:r-x .
