BUG: ACL's are a security attribute. They belong in the Security attrib space, not the Root-attrib space.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently there are 3 disjoint attribute spaces on files -- user, root and security.

(there is a misprint in the manual that says there is 2, but later, it gives
talks about using no switch giving the User attrib space, -R for Root attrib
space, and -S for the Security attrib space).


Of these, the ACL's are being placed in the root, which might describe
file types, or other OS related info, but not security attributes like ACL's.
They should be in the Security attrib space (otherwise what is the point of a
Security attribute space).
