[Bug 173324] No nfs4-acl-tools for NFSv4 support

[Axel Pospischil]

Public bug reported:

No support for ACL's in nfs/cifs mounts.

I am not a kernel developer but I cannot understand where the problem
is, if major distributions (redhat/suse) seem to support nfs/cifs with
acl out of the box - for about 2 years now (2005), right when ACL
support came for SMB (see [4] page 133). So the kernel must be major and
the tools exist.

According to
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=428512&highlight=nfs%20acl#0.64162506203136
nfs4-acl-tools is not part of ubuntu dapper 6.06.

Will these tools be part of 8.04 LTS?

For detailed explanation of the problem please see Bug #67175 and
Question #18907.
