now, as you can see / is hidden from sshd
yet when i login through ssh i can still see / ??
but if i change / to h in the default ACL, and / r in sshd - sshd still doesnt see /
what the hell is going on here?

when you're logged in through ssh, it's the shell that is looking in / (or whatever app like ls that you used to try to look in it), not sshd itself. The ACL system is working like it's supposed to. Run pstree and familarize yourself with the process hierarchy.
