Hi folks,

My Backup Bouncer metadata test suite used to use fsaclctl to enable ACLs on its test volumes but that program has vanished from snow leopard.  Can anybody tell me what the procedure for enabling/disabling ACLs is now?  I've searched for ACL/acl in the man pages for hdiutil, mount_hfs, diskutil, etc. without luck.

It is enabled by default, and has been since Leopard.

Ah, OK. It turns out my chmod +a ... was failing for some other reason and I assumed it was related to the failure to find fsaclctl. Thanks!

The call to allow it to be enabled/disabled on the fly is to do an fsctl on the volume with the HFS_SETACLSTATE operand.  Note that you will need to run as root for this to be effective.

I probably don't need it after all, but that's good to know. Thanks, -n8 -- http://n8gray.org _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
