NAME
     sup - set UNIX-style protection

SYNTAX
     sup directory ...

DESCRIPTION
     Sup modifies each named directory so that new files and sub-
     directories created within that directory will receive
     UNIX-style protection.  Normally, new files and directories
     that are created from DOMAIN/IX programs (using creat(2),
     open(2), mknod(2), or mkdir(2)) receive UNIX-style protec-
     tion, but files and directories created by non-DOMAIN/IX
     programs (including the Display Manager) receive the initial
     (default) ACL of the directory in which they are created.
     The sup command arranges that all objects created in a
     directory to which sup has been applied will receive UNIX-
     style protection, i.e., owner, group and world rights based
     on the identity of the creating process.

EXAMPLE
     To apply sup recursively to an entire directory hierarchy,
     type (in a Bourne shell):

     find directory -type d -exec sup {} \;


NOTE
     The sup command should not be run on any installed software,
     for example, the /com, /bin, or /usr directories, since sup
     will nullify the initial default ACL and thereby deny the
     DOMAIN sys_admin account rights to those directories (and
     any directories created under them later).  This means that
     a sys_admin account will be unable to update that software.
     In effect, you will probably not wish to use sup on direc-
     tory levels higher than users' home directories.

     If you inadvertantly run sup on a directory, you can restore
     the initial default ACL using the id option to edacl.  For
     example, to restore the sys_admin account to directory's
     initial default ACL, use the following command.

     edacl -a %.sys_admin.%.% -all -id directory
