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.
