Erm... I am very sure I didn't write the new ACL code
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/chmod/ (unless I
am suffering from some kind of sleepwalking... or better:
sleep-programming (Ok... I am sure I am often close to that point at
5AM... but I usually still remember what I wrote... :-) )) ... my
question was more whether Sun-written code can be exported (e.g.
cut&paste hacking) to ast/ksh93 under the original AT&T Unix license
(http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/chmod/chmod.c
carries it).
