Subject: extended acls..
Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 09:50:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <42ab06770905190950x5077edb0s3c55bd1c39ebeebe@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Howdy,

I'm curious if there is any plans to add extended acls ala AFS?  The
reason I ask is that it seems in Linux we don't seem have moved off of
POSIX style acls and I think there is definitely at least from my
perspective that having a richer set of acl would be needed.  For
instance, we would need acls to deal with controlled countries if we
are sharing data with them etc.  It is a big shame that there is no
RFC for extended ACLs.

Also, I would like to help out with development, I'm a newbie as far
as kernel level hacking goes.  If there is a place I can go that I can
start off small that would be lovely.
