Description
Richacls are an implementation of NFSv4 ACLs which has been extended by file masks to better fit the standard POSIX file permission model. The main goal is to provide a consistent file permission model locally as well as over various remote file system protocols like NFSv4 and CIFS; this is expected to significantly improve interoperability in mixed operating system environments, both when Linux is used as a client and as a server.
Richacls share some design elements with POSIX ACLs, but they go beyond POSIX ACLs in several ways. Converting from POSIX ACLs to richacls is relatively easy, but converting back from richacls to POSIX ACLs is not possible without losing information.
Richacls can be enabled for an entire file system. Once enabled, that file system supports richacls instead of POSIX ACLs; a file system never supports both models at the same time.
These packages are available for testing, an attempt to increase adoption of richacls.
