No, a volume is always created with all rights for anyone in the ACL.  The
system administrator corrects this when mounting.  So a standard volume
for braam, mounted on /coda/usr/braam would get 

cfs setacl /coda/usr/braam  braam all System:AnyUser rl

New directories inherit the acl from the parent.

There are a number of problems with unauthenticated operation of Coda
(which we will look at, but they are not on our urgent list) having to do
with the fact that re-integration requires tokens.  If your bandwidth fell
briefly, you could have a problem, unless you have tokens.
