I've yet to see a complete acl tutorial that works from start to finish with no problems at all (however this may be due to me using latest cake 1.2 from svn)
I would be keen to help creating a verbose tutorial, showing how it all works. I agree that there is a lot missing from the existing tutorials. I for one wouldnt mind just seeing a working tutorial, along with a working example within an archive!
