[Donn Washburn <n5xwb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Thanks for an explanation.  This problem showed up after a recent 
zypper up or dup. As a non root user (in this case) it caused OpenOffice 
to not be allowed to write to my Document/donn/file.  Which has always 
worked up to M6.  If it is ACL - As I remember during partition defining 
there was a check box to turn off ACL.  Should that be done to prevent 
this from happening again?  Besides I don't need it at all
