Implement utilities getcifsacl and setcifsacl Signed-off-by: Shirish Pargaonkar <shirishpargaonkar@xxxxxxxxx> Set of patches to build utilities getcifsacl and setcifsacl along with their manpages. getcifsacl fetches a security descriptor of a file off of a share mounted using option cifsacl using API getxattr. It then parses the security descriptor printing control porttion of the security descriptor and then DACL if there is one by printing each ACE with it fields, SID, type, flags, and mask. setcifsacl builds two lists of ACEs, one specified on the command line and other fetched from the file the way getcifacl does. It then constructs a security descriptor consisting of ACL and uses API setxattr to send the security descriptor as a blob to the server. setcifsacl also works with files off of shares mounted with option cifsacl. manpages are provided for both the utilities with some examples in setcifsacl manpage. The usage of getcifsacl is simple and very much self explanatory. With these utilities, there is a way to interprete and construct a blob describing security descritpor of a file system object. These utilities are modeled after smbcacls command in the Samba suite. They depend on option of cifsacl while mounting a share using cifs client and winbind facility of the Samba suite, to work as intended. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
