What makes you think I looked at the wrong thing?
I was not looking at process ACLs or capabilites. The file ACL
stuff does not seem to make sense of itself. The best refs I
found are:
http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/
http://acl.bestbits.at/
This disticnguishes NFS acls and posix acls but not clearly.
What I see is that these refer to <sys/acl.h> and a set of strange
API functions, but these files do not exist. Instead I find posixacl.h
and xattr.h which seem unrelated.
