I think you meant "single user machines", not "single machine users". Those are two very different scenarios. I can see not using ACLs in single user machines, of which I suspect there are far fewer than you think, but in a multi-user single machine, I certainly see ACLs being used quite extensively. Also, one thing to mention, GNU chmod and ls won't have any problems with UFS ACLs, only ZFS ACLs. fpsm _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
