Read up on ACLs and default ACLs -- 'man setfacl' is a good starting point. ext3 supports ACLs if you mount with the 'acl' option. If you go this route, you want to make sure your backups get the ACLs. Only the most recent version of dump backs up ACLs, and tar does not. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
