chmod question

i'm trying change the permissions for the owning group on a directory using chmod

chmod g=rwx /Accounting

The command is excepted but then when I look at the output of 'getfacl /Accounting' the permissions haven't change

Try and sudo the chmod command?

Does the group "Accounting" already have permissions to the file? You might need to use chgrp first:

chgrp Accounting /path/to/file

Then use chmod g=rwx /Accounting
