Most commercial Unixes, Linux (and soon FreeBSD) implement ACLs to supplement basic permissions. They all work differently. None of your existing backup systems know how to deal with them properly. They are all difficult to manage. In short, you might be able to use ACLs on *nix, but it's going to be a bumpy ride. Actually, I think that there may be a POSIX standard for ACLs under Unix, but I don't know how well adhered to it is. -Dom P.S. Anybody fancy writing a GNOME/KDE file manager extension for dealing with ACLs? :-) -- | Semantico: creators of major online resources | | URL: http://www.semantico.com/ | | Tel: +44 (1273) 722222 | | Address: 33 Bond St., Brighton, Sussex, BN1 1RD, UK. |
