Sorry, but that's all wrong. If you take that approach, virtually nothing's off-topic. The volume here is more than high enough. That's why it's necessary to be very specific about a lists's charter.
First what is Suse? Suse is one of several Gnu/Linux distributions. Any question about Linux should be covered by this list. If someone has a RedHat, Mandrake (Mandriva), etc, specific question then they should visit lists appropriate to those distro's. Asking a question about ACL's *is* an appropriate Linux based question that can be asked here. By your logic, if someone has a bash question, but they happen to be using Fedora then they are forbidden from posting here? How may people on this list use multiple OSes? I happen to have machines running with Suse, Mandrake, Fedora, RedHat and FreeBSD (Unix). I imagine most who visit this list do. And all the knowledge gained is used to install, operate, administer, and secure the many flavors of Linux. Your are, unfortunately, ignoring the spirit of the Linux community.
And I always thought that the [SLE] stood for SuSE Linux English. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
