No, extended attributes are much more than just ACLs. The current item in the list about using SAML to represent the attributes is closer to what he wants. Transforming platform-specific extended attributes into SAML would be the long-term way to do this, because then you could express any security or attribute relationship, not just SELinux contexts. I'd want them for dataset parameters for operating systems that require them, you could express the full Windows security management syntax, VSAM cluster information, etc, etc. It'd go beyond just the Unix semantics and really handle the entire set of metadata possibilities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
