Others have already replied. But let me give you a simple example we actually use here: Users in group A should have read and write access to a directory. Users in group B shoul only have read (incl search) access to it. Users not in either group should have no access. I'm sure you realise you need a few more bits than the regular file permissions provide to do this. > Is it safe to say that ACL's > are not very popular? That is probably true. But they ARE used. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
