fyi: Windows has ACLs for NTFS as well. I find them a nightmare to work with in Windows. I think they are much cleaner in Linux.
Yeah, it's horrid isn't it. Windows these days locks everything down in C:\Program Files. And some other dirs are even worse. Gaining access to something might mean half an hour of messing around because you have to do everything in the right order, oh and then at the end of the day you discover that a certain kind of override doesn't work, or you cannot give permissions to the user if the group denies it, or vice versa, or ..... I may have one question though, maybe you can answer it. ** What happens if you make a tar backup of ACL-ed files? ** Easy to test. It does, if you specify --acls when both saving and extracting the files. (I think). Another flag to remember. However, whenever I am not superuser, it will not preserve any ownership (which is in a sense logical) (but at the same time it will preserve all ACL rights). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
