I can't imagine a company that doesn't make use of it. And the lack of ACL support in Nautilus is a real pain. People need to use Windows (to connect via samba) to have a GUI for ACLs. And command line is really no option for them.
I suppose hidding some rights is a "wonderful" idea similiar to Windows "hide extensions" by default. Regards, Olaf -- Olaf Frączyk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
