How to get to latest ACLs code.

[Sean Elble]

Jeremy,

I haven't heard anything about this new ACL code . . . will it replace what
is already there? I really like being able to manipulate file system-level
ACLs, and thus changing the ACLs for UNIX users as well. Will the new
implementation change that, and make it like Sun's PC-Netlink, where all ACL
information is "hidden" from UNIX, and isn't relevent to UNIX users? If you
could let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, in advance.
