The way I see it ACL support will need to be a separate interface, but it will also need to expose this GNOME_VFS_PERM_ACCESS_* API so that apps who don't care about the details can find out what they want. I'll be eager to look at proposed APIs that people have for ACL support. I have little knowledge of (or indeed personal interest in) ACLs. I am open to people who do care though. It sounds like the sort of thing that will take more thinking and discussion than we'll have time for before 2.2. But now is a good time to start talking about it. Ian
