If you look at the 10.4.6 sources via:

<http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4.6.ppc/Libc-391.2.5/posix1e/acl_file .c>

you'll see that they are indeed mostly stubs. Your debugger was right :-(

Cheers,

Hello Darwin-List,

I've been trying to remove the access control list entries associated with a file, and not having success. All of the following consistently return ENOENT: acl_delete_file_np(), acl_delete_link_np(), and acl_delete_fd_np(), though the path or file descriptor is valid. When I walk into the library routine's assembly code, it looks like the call is stubbed out -- pop the stack and then return to the caller.

Does anyone know the status of the acl_delete routines under OS X 10.4.7? If indeed they aren't functional, is the best work-around to delete acl entries one-by-one?
