There is no standard for ACLs. It is a real maintenance nightmare. We'd like to support ACLs portably (I have drafted some code along those lines, but it's incomplete). It's not as easy as it might appear. (Check out the Samba code that deals with ACLs. Yeouch!) In the meantime, some vendors have patches that work with their particular platforms; that's an easier job. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
