For those folks that like to live just *over* the edge and would like to use ACL-less backups on ZFS with existing networker clients, what is the possibility of creating a pre-loadable library that wrapped acl(2)? Have it just hand off the same result except return 0 when the actual call was an error set to ENOSYS. Backups would still have to mess with either legacy mounts or explicit save set specification, but those are much easier tasks. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
