Let me define : nux = a general term for "Linux" who doesnt want to write the whole word Linux, or "Linux Distributions". If I need to elaborate I could explain it like you're a 12 year old, that is on your call Jijo *grin*. Thank you for proving your point. I just wanted to call it *nux, had a catchy ring to it too.. nux! nux! nux! nux! nux! *ahurm* flames > /dev/null and more flames > /dev/null *laff* Jijo also noted : >This is a legitimate point that I think even the current work that is >being done on ACLs doesn't address.

Nothing more. malabo ang ibig mong sabihin dre, pero heres how I understood your question: you want 1) Permission delegation 2) Permission management (File restrictions for specific users) 3) you dont want nosy people tinkering your ACL's We administrators definitely know that Group permissions can be controlled using /etc/groups in *nix, let us recall that groups are a way to shorten access control lists. They are useful in other ways as well. If not use sudo because 1) flexibility 2) flexibility 3) and Admin friendly But ACL's are great and I know Jijo knows them by heart. I have been informed he is one of the best in this area. So kudos to him And also Jijo commented : >The UNIX model (and it seems everyone else?) follows a very central model >of administration, and I wonder if this will change in the near future. >Hmm ... :( Hmm.. let me comment on this one, There should only be ONE God. or ONE President of a company, ONE CEO, and ONE leader, I think you can get the point from there. Remember heirarchy *grin* and I could feel that it will stay that way until you reverse the thinking of the whole human race. Regards, Keech Angelo S.
