Both Solaris and AIX have ACLs. I'm pretty sure that most BSD
variants don't have them (please correct me...).
Has anyone ever actually used ACLs on a UNIX system? All sorts of
companies use Solaris, but I've never heard of anyone actually
using Solaris ACLs. They seem to be more of a pain than they're worth.
I'd be curious to hear anecdotes.
The ACL-related commands are all different on AIX vs. Solaris.
On a Solaris 2.6 machine, typing 'apropos acl' shows this:
acl acl (2) - get or set a file's Access Control List (ACL)
aclcheck aclcheck (3) - check the validity of an ACL
aclfrommode acltomode (3) - convert an ACL to/from permission bits
aclfrompbits acltopbits (3) - convert an ACL to/from permission bits
aclfromtext acltotext (3) - convert an internal representation to/from external representation
aclsort aclsort (3) - sort an ACL
acltomode acltomode (3) - convert an ACL to/from permission bits
acltopbits acltopbits (3) - convert an ACL to/from permission bits
acltotext acltotext (3) - convert an internal representation to/from external representation
facl acl (2) - get or set a file's Access Control List (ACL)
getfacl getfacl (1) - display discretionary file information
setfacl setfacl (1) - modify the Access Control List (ACL) for a file or files
