Well, more and more file systems will be using NFSv4-style ACLs, so it'd be useful on platforms besides Solaris. At $WORK we have an Isilon that has these ACLs on OneFS, and we've found it easier to go in via Windows and CIFS and edit the ACLs than trying to use the CLI tools for some of the convoluted permissions we have to deal with (e.g., multiple research groups, with some users getting write access on top of the base read access that they'd normally have; add inheritance on top of that for newly created directories sub-trees, etc.). I think if you can SSH into a server with X11 forwarding enable and have the editor run on the system, with the GUI showing up on the admin's desktop, then it'd be handy. Editing complicated ACLs isn't just for your desktop. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
