[CLUE-Tech] Advanced ACLs for Linux

[Keith Hellman]

A couple weeks ago there was a thread about advanced ACLs for filesystems.
 That person may be interested in the following - it was posted on
Saturday to Freshmeat.

[027] - Linux trustees 2.8

Security System :: Filesystems System :: Systems Administration

About: The main goal of the Linux Trustees project is to create an 
advanced
permission management system for Linux. The solution proposed is mainly
inspired by the approach taken by Novell Netware and the Java security 
API.
Special objects (called trustees) can be bound to every file or directory.
The trustee object can be used to ensure that access to a file, directory,
or directory with subdirectories is granted (or denied) to a certain user
or group (or all except user or group). Trustees are like POSIX ACLs, but
trustee objects can affect entire subdirectory trees, while ACLs a single
file.

Changes: Support for Linux 2.4.15-17, 2.5.1, and 2.2.20, and use of procfs
instead of syscall to make patches more tolerable to kernel changes.
