Excellent. Thank you.

- the article is from 2003. It notes that nfs doesn't support ACLs (at 
the time). Anyone know if nfs does now?

- it also points out that Samba (at the time) was ready to accommodate 
ACLs. In actual practice, does this (mostly) meld the worlds 
effectively, extending Windows ACLs (or user/group lists) to Linux 
file servers (with acl enabled partitions)? [It notes, or rather, the 
whitepaper does, that using Windows on a samba Linux file will let you 
manipulate ACLs a la Windows.

[And, from what I quickly reviewed, my earlier in the thread thought 
of having a .perms file in a directory makes even more sense.]
