how to set access control for files in vxfs

[Rodney Hills]

Do a man "setacl".

setting ACL's depends on which version of JFS you have (if you have it at all). You need at least JFS version 3.3 which uses the JFS 4.0 file system layout. To verify what you have you can run this command against one of your vxfs file systems

vxupgrade /

you should see something like

/ :vxfs file system version 4 layout

from there read the man page on getacl and setacl

You might want to look at kernel patch PHKL_25351 before using acls on VxFS file systems.
