Setting up ACL on HPUX 10.20

[Belinda Dermody]

I have two HP 9000 running 10.20, will be converting to 11 in the summer (Cold Install). I am looking into setting up ACL control as these are the test/dev and production systems for our Finance dept. Are there any LAYMAN instructions anywhere that provides nice examples to follow. What do I have to do to get started and testing.

Hello,

be careful, to check what version of VxFS you are using/will be using, though:

HP-UX 10.20 does have JFS3.0
HP-UX 11.xx does have JFS3.3!

and the commands for those are different:
chacl/lsacl
setacl/getacl

HTH,
Wodisch

Thanks for all the information, it has me going in the right direction. I do not have JFS on my system. Just normal HFS system with mirroring. I know I will have questions later. But the first one that comes to my mind what is the easiest way of keeping an audit trail of all the ACL permissions that are tied to the files.
