Description

I have noticed that there is no way to set all of the file permissions. I had a problem with a zip file I was creating for deployment. The server wanted the file with an a+r permission which would normally result in a permission of "-rw-r--r--+" but on kbfs it only results in "-rw-------+". The only way to create files for the archive is to move them to my local drive, set the permissions and then create the zip.

Research direction

The report concerns permissions on files created through KBFS on OS X; it names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the a+r case and tracing the file-creation path, then verify that created files retain the requested permissions, including the expected -rw-r--r--+ mode.
