RE: [PLUG] webhosting question


sorry, Access Control List.  Allows lots of fun stuff dealing with users and
permissions that go way above and beyond what normal unix permissions allow.
not sure which, if any, commercial unixes use them (although SGI might).
>From google, it looks like some of the 2.5 kernels (from what it looks like,
starting in 2.5.3) have some acl's included.  cool.

here is a link for some patches against the 2.4.x series.  It has some
information, but, not much.
