There are built in acls in RHEL. The filesystem must first be mounted with the acl option. This can be set in your /etc/fstab. You can add acls with the setfacl command and then view them with the getfacl command. I hope that helps.

I'm assuming this implies POSIX acls. Using RHEL 4 what is the recommended way to have better file acls? I'd like a group that has 'read' access, a group the has 'write' access, and another group that has 'full'.. The difficulty is that I will be sharing most files on the linux server through samba. I know samba has some cool features with force group, dir mode, etc., but I'm also worried about someone having shell access that may want to monkey around on the machine.
