Description Sigmund Scheinbar 2004-03-09 23:58:43 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Set and Change permissions for posix Access Control Lists  (http://acl.bestbits.at/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-acl/) and eXtend ATTRibuts with konqueror.

Every modern linux file system supports ACL (ext2, ext3, jfs, xfs, reiserfs(SuSE), reiserfs v4) and attr (EXT3, XFS, reiserfs(SuSE), reiserfs v4). 

ACL can be chaged with SETFACL(1) and attr with SETFATTR(1), if a file has an acl associated with it you will se a '+' with ls e.g.
-rwxr-xr-x+    1 user    group       2764 2004-01-15 22:45 test

You can have a look at these addition permission with GETFACL(1) and with GETFATTR(1) you will se the extend attributes. 

A nice example of attr would be to save the url of a downloaded wile in the xattr. S-tar (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/star.html) support for ark, etc.

Parts of this Wish are a duplicate of htttp://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6976

However the XATTR isn't coverd with bug report 6976 so no need for deletion :) 
Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2004-03-16 10:44:11 UTC
