No clue on acls and windoze. Sorry. But in Linux acls are set at the filesystem level. Usually via an entry in the /etc/fstab or with the tune2fs command. So when a tar file is extracted the acls will not travel unless it is placed in a filesystem that has acls. Even if it is placed in a filesystem with acls I'm not sure how well that would work. Never actually did that. Test it and let us know.

Does zip even know about acls on files? They are rather "new" and not always supported. Also, how do you set an acl on Windows? I'm fairly ignorant of that! I set acls on Linux, then use GNU tar with the correct switches to transport of z/OS UNIX. -- Trying to write with a pencil that is dull is pointless. Maranatha!
