JAB,
yes-this is in argument ;-) ... and personally I like the idea of having smth like setfacl also for GPFS .. for years...
*but* it would not take away the generic challenge , what to do, if there are competing standards / definitions to meet
at least that is most likely just one reason, why there's no tool yet
there are several hits on RFE page for "ACL".. some of them could be also addressed with a (mm)setfacl tool
but I was not able to find a request for a tool itself
(I quickly searched public but not found it there, maybe there is already one in private...)
So - dependent on how important this item for others is ... its time to fire an RFE ?!? ...
cheers
olaf

One might argue that the general rubbishness of the mmputacl cammand,
and if a mmsetfacl command (or similar) existed it would negate messing
with Linux utilities to change ACL's on GPFS file systems
Only been bringing it up for over a decade now ;-)
