i'm just curious -- how many people here are using ACLs as a regular and significant part of their sys admin?
We use it on an FTP server, as it seemed to be the easiest way to make some directories read-only to some people and read/write for others. I've forgotten what we tried beforehand and why it wasn't working, but we found it convenient to allow some FTP shares to have different rights for different users.
Used an old Fedora 2 tutorial.
