*nix file system ACLs permissions

(1/1)

Weaver:
The basic *nix permissions based on ownership and user / group / world (is that right?) are fairly basic.

I was wondering about systems that have flexible powerful ACLs such as we find in Win NT especially post NT4 service pack x and then NT 5.0 aka Win 2000.

I found this article  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Access_Control_Lists

Was wondering about the requirements for this kind of good stuff?

ejs:
What do you mean by "requirements"? ACLs will have been supported by every Linux distribution and filesystem for ages.

Weaver:
Ah, I didn’t even know that. Good job I asked then.

jhm:
And implemented in macOS since 10.4 (Tiger) thirteen years ago:
