Yes. Cross-directory hard links must be prevented by AFS3 because ACLs can only be assigned to directories. The AuriStor File System allows ACLs to be assigned to any object (directory, file, symlink or mount point.) If a cross-directory hard link is added to a file and that file inherits a directory ACL, the directory ACL is copied to the file as part of the creation of the hard link. Jeffrey Altman
