It actually occurs to me that this is probably not just technically important, but important for planning purposes. That is, we can sit here arguing all day about theoretical use cases, but everybody is going to have differing opinions that lean in odd directions until certain things are fixed. Or in short, as long as POSIX ACLs require a scout badge in command line comfort, discussing how to leverage POSIX ACLs is pointless because people don't want to think two steps out. Let's see if we can get anything agreeable on that. It'll probably look strikingly like Windows' Security tab, except without supplying Allow/Deny, fine grained special permissions (which don't exist), or having all the Windows main permissions. So, it'll look like the only thing that makes sense in general, and specifically for Unix. That is, a few rows of controls for Owner, Group, and then a list box of permissions with one row with three checkboxes per row for each user (Owner, Group, Everyone, individual users/groups). Can we get that? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
