Hi Phil, somewhat offtopic, sorry! I understand, that moving ACL's from one system to another (with rsync or any other tool) isn't easy and heavily depending on design decisions / standardization ... Thank you for rambling :-) As stated in a mail before I'm trying to combine samba and rsync to provide most of the 'comfort' in ACL's on Win machines for U*X machines (running Samba) on the other side of the 'line'. Doing this, requires to check out which type of permissions available on Winxx can be mapped onto ACL's which are available on Solaris or any other OS. I think I'm not the first one trying this. Can some kind soul please point me to a discussion list/ressource where these kind of topics are discussed. TIA, Walter > <ramble> > As an example for others, consider the problem of syncronizing a > tree of files from a Solaris machine to a Linux machine running a > filesystem with no ACLs.
