So my school french suffices. Google would help if the text would be more flowery. In cases where the output language matters more, consider to set the LANG variable to "C" as prefix to the desired command line: LANG=C getfacl /tmp/x or as persistent setting for the particular shell instance export LANG=C getfacl /tmp/x (The message by getfacl(1) refers to the first line of its output # file: tmp/x not to the input path.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
