    If only…

    Those are POSIX acls, and they suck

    We could have had NFSv4 ACL, of which windows ACLs are a subset. In fact, every other unix os did… Except for Linux, they decided it didn’t fit well to Linux. And so we are stuck with UGO permissions, and posix ACLs.

      Good catch - I should have said that it’s closer to Windows-style ACLs rather than implying that it’s actually the same.
