"complete access to everything" isn't very well specified - can you
give an example?

Deliberately?  Of course, the Unix discretionary permissions model has
always allowed that, ACLs or not.  But the default ACL setting on the
directory should ensure that new files have the intended permissions.


-- Colin, who remains surprised that lack of awareness of ACLs
extended all the way to reimplementing them using userspace
filesystems
