ACLs with SuSE 8.0 ???
hello list, I think this question is security related... Can I use acl's with SuSE 8.0? The file-utilities exist on my box but when I use setfacl this error occurs: "Operation not supported". Is a kernel patch required? Which filesystems supports acl's? Anybody could help me? Greetings Mario

Neither 2.4 nor 2.5 mainstream kernel support ACLs yet. There exists an ACL patch for ext2. See http://acl.bestbits.at for kernel patches and more information. There is no other fs with ACL support for Linux I know about. When you have a kernel with ACL support, you also have to remount your e2fs with some special mount options. Again, see http://acl.bestbits.at You may want to have a jump start with http://acl.bestbits.at/steps.html Best regards from Bremen, Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Bremen, Matthias Riese

Yes, but I only tested it with XFS.

XFS supports ACLs out of the box in SuSE 8.0.

Hello and many thank's for this hint. XFS is working fine and doesn't need any patch under SuSE 8.0. I think, that's a large security-advantage in a web-environment. Mario

Sorry if it sounds stupid but, does ACLs supports reiserfs? If it does it would be necessary to remount with some special options (just like e2fs) ? I've been looking around and I found nothing about it. Could someone send me a link? Thank M. Neubert wrote:

Does anyone know, if the precompiled binary of samba delivered with SuSE 8.0 does support ACLs running on XFS? -- Eat, sleep and go running, David Huecking. Encrypted eMail welcome! GnuPG/ PGP-Fingerprint: 3DF2 CBE0 DFAA 4164 02C2 4E2A E005 8DF7 5780 9216
