Hi,
   I have used them several times in different environments.  If you need them, 
they are the only way...

Caveat:    I suggest anyone using them should be very familiar with managing 
complex groups, the use of permissions, sticky bits etc.   --One painful 
example I heard of recently was a site containing thousands of ACLs on files 
that were already covered by the enclosing directory. The number of ACLs & 
inodes will be the only real limit to look at..

ie: if you have permissions granted by a directly,  the files inside only need 
to have world access ( for w r or x what ever you need  ) this can save lots of 
over head


Nota bene, compatibility with other ACL is a bit of a pain, if you are sharing 
with windows you may look at CIFS instead.  NFS was a pain,  but I think those 
bugs are mostly fixed now.


Gluck!
