Not directly. You have a couple options: 1. Dump the ACLs to a file (probably with getfattr) and back up that file. 2. Write a wrapper for gnutar that uses star, which does support some ACLs last I checked. There's probably others, as well, but it's late :-) HTH, Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263
