Apologies; I meant that he only supports one kind of ACLs. Windows ACLs are very similar to NFS4 ACLs, which are very different than POSIX.1e ACLs. > > The rest...hey, I'm not asking for the world...(yet)....but getting it to > work for linux/cygwin/ > posix1e acls/extended attrs, would solve 60% of my problems w/tar...(since I > don't have > a native 64-bit Win version now, it would be a bit of a stretch to ask for > that AND one that > supports native win ACLS/ext-attrs(streams)...)...but that would a nice > future goal… Actually, support for Windows ACLs is a goal of the work I referred to earlier. Since NFS4 ACLs are essentially the same as Windows NTFS ACLs, it should be pretty easy to extend the NFS4 ACL implementation I described to interoperate with Windows as well. <sigh> I just need to find time to finish the generic portions of that code.
