Description
NSS 5.1.6 on databrowser sharing pane (ACL edit)
- edit on /public to allow specific .acl
- later change your mind and "stop specific sharing for this folder"
- then you go to root default (.acl), and no way to edit /public/.acl (because it does not exist anymore) and there is no way to access root .acl (which seems OK)
Consequence you have lost access to any ACL under public.
Bad bug how to re-create /public/.acl ?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the databrowser sharing pane on NSS 5.1.6 by editing and then stopping specific sharing for /public. Trace the ACL handling for /public and the root default ACL; done means stopping sharing does not make /public/.acl inaccessible or leave users unable to manage its inherited ACL.
