"Right. Linux lacks the NFSv4 ACL support and hence your problem." I'm not entirely sure that this is true. It has the xdr encoding/decoding routines and I have been able to see ACL requests in traces of compound operations. The only thing that is weird about it is that it uses a different set of utilities for manipulating the NFSv4 ACLs. Dave
