ACL permissions in Krusader

[Karai Csaba]

Hi!

My last commit lets Krusader use ACL permissions.

Check it with File->Properties->Permissions->Special...

'Preserve attributes' preserves the ACL permissions as well.
'Synchronizer' also preserves the ACL permissions.

Try it and use it.

Bye,

Csaba

i've never used acls before, but i'll be sure to have a look.

me neither, but I think you made a little cut&paste error in
configure.in.in... The helptext for the --without-acl switch still
refers to Konqueror's servicemenu ;-)
btw: is there any other KDE filemanager that supports ACL's? If not,
that might be a nice storry for the dot...

bye,

Never used it eighter but it's documented :)

Konqueror supports it.

I think, that ACL permissions will have much more importance in the
future. I like them better than the owner-group-other forms.

I fixed the misspell in configure.in.in.

Can we use this feature to manage SELinux permissions ?
(SELinux  now comes as default in Fedora and Suse will do the same I'm sure)

I don't know SELinux. I've tried on SuSE 10.2 with EXT3 file system.
I think that there's an option for EXT3 to handle ACL permissions.
It works on SuSE by default...

Required: a file system with ACL extension
and KDE > 3.5

Hi!

I tried to compile the beta1 under FreeBSD:

/usr/X11R6/bin/moc ./normal_vfs.h -o normal_vfs.moc

then mv -f ".deps/normal_vfs.Tpo" ".deps/normal_vfs.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/normal_vfs.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

If I google for acl_equiv_mode, I found a man page, which end with:

STANDARDS
This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL manipulation
functions defined in(1,8) IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 ("POSIX.1e",
abandoned).

I never did anything with acl. Could you rewrite it using portable code? Or
should I better try to turn acl off in FreeBSD?

Csaba, is it possible that you mixed the defines between HAVE_POSIX_ACL and HAVE_NON_POSIX_ACL_EXTENSIONS

#ifdef HAVE_POSIX_ACL
#include <sys/acl.h>
#ifdef HAVE_NON_POSIX_ACL_EXTENSIONS
#include <acl/libacl.h>
#endif

acl_equiv_mode() is defined in acl/libacl.h but used in a #ifdef HAVE_POSIX_ACL block

Good morning!

I searched for "equiv_mode" in the /usr/include and /usr/local/include but did not find anything. On the other hand my FreeBSD has a file /usr/include/sys.acl.h which contains a lot of acl_* functions, but no acl_equiv_mode(). So I think acl_equiv_mode() is not portable. But as I said: I never did anything with acl so far!

Fixed. It'll work without HAVE_NON_POSIX_ACL_EXTENSIONS defined.

The cvs head of yesterday builds now on FreeBSD!

Thanks
