It actually occurs to me that this is probably not just technically<br>
important, but important for planning purposes. That is, we can sit<br>
here arguing all day about theoretical use cases, but everybody is<br>
going to have differing opinions that lean in odd directions until<br>
certain things are fixed. Or in short, as long as POSIX ACLs require<br>
a scout badge in command line comfort, discussing how to leverage<br>
POSIX ACLs is pointless because people don't want to think two steps<br>
out.<br>
<br>
Let's see if we can get anything agreeable on that. It'll probably<br>
look strikingly like Windows' Security tab, except without supplying<br>
Allow/Deny, fine grained special permissions (which don't exist), or<br>
having all the Windows main permissions. So, it'll look like the only<br>
thing that makes sense in general, and specifically for Unix. That<br>
is, a few rows of controls for Owner, Group, and then a list box of<br>
permissions with one row with three checkboxes per row for each user<br>
(Owner, Group, Everyone, individual users/groups).<br>
<br>
Can we get that?<br>
