[aklug] Re: group environment configuration?

ACLs are a very common part of Linux and it's many filesystems and server daemons.

POSIX ACLs are used in OSX for instance and they use SMB and AFP to serve out files. I
believe these ACLs are also used by Apache to determine read/writeability on dav/http shares.
