acls on files

[Jay Berryman]

There are built in acls in RHEL.  The filesystem must first be mounted with
the acl option.  This can be set in your /etc/fstab.  You can add acls with
the setfacl command and then view them with the getfacl command.  I hope
that helps.

Subject: acls on files

I'm looking at better flexibility regarding file system access.

rather than simple user/group ownerships, I'll like something more
like NTFS acls or AFS acls. I'm assuming this implies POSIX acls.  

Using RHEL 4 what is the recommended way to have better file acls?

I'd like a group that has 'read' access, a group the has 'write'
access, and another group that has 'full'.. The difficulty is that I
will be sharing most files on the linux server through samba. I know
samba has some cool features with force group, dir mode, etc., but I'm
also worried about someone having shell access that may want to monkey
around on the machine.

Any recommendations?
