Linux Posix ACL how ..

A other question in this forum talked about using ACL under Linux, this made me realize I did not know how this worked.

I Have used ACL under VMS would like to test/try this on linux ... have read the man page, but have not figured out how to use/manipulate the posix linux ACL!

Could someone hold my hand and walk me from shadow to light ?

What I don't need is a discussions on why use acl's

But what i would appreciate is a simple example with a directory populated with acl protected files

J-P (any security expert's out there ? :-) )

Hello J-P,

the SuSE Handbook at

http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/chapter/fs_acl-en.pdf

has some longer explanation. This might be of help. I shall not comment on VMS ACLs ;-)
