I am trying to find a utility that will allow me to manipulate my ACLs for directories, other than Konsole. while running KDE. Most of the admins on my LAN don't know much about Linux file level security. I want to make it so the don't call me on my day off.

I may be a wee bit dense rite now, but "Konsole" is just the KDE version of Xterm. So my question is, *what* do you handle your ACL's with?..
And what ACL implementation are you talking about? Trustee's, LOMAC, RSBAC, LIDS or GRSecurity?..

Honestly I could not tell you which EA\ACL I am using. It was akernel patch I got from http://acl.bestbits.at
Right now I am just modifying the ACL for each directory from the console using "setfacl" and viewing with "getfacl" However I can't expect everyong to use this method.

Uh. Ok. Never tried that one.
Haven't seen a GUI for it either, but I guess a simple GUI using scripting and Xdialog could be made for it in no time. I mean, is there a limit to how many users and groups can have acl rights on a file? Also I'm kinda wondering where it stores these ACL's (what level?).

I am not sure where it stores the ACL iether. I really don't know too much about the patch other than it allows me to really be very granular about the amount of access I give to users.

I can let marketing read the files, while Development can write and read, and document Control department have full access, and everyone else is restricted. ACL it's a wonderfull thing. no more world readable directores, no more complex grouping structures. The file level control of NT with the stability of Linux.

The next step in my master plan hinges on OpenLDAP, "pam_ldap", and Microsoft's "Services for Unix" and I have 100% Lin\Win integration. If the Samba team finishes WinBind soon then it will speed me up alot, but I can get around it. If I can get a GUI ACL editor then I have a stable platform with easily administered file level security, that authenticates Linux and Windows workstation from a single LDAP database.

If you're good at shellscripting I know this ain't impossible, and maybe there's some ppl at /Programming who'd like to help out.
On second thought you're at a commerical outfit, maybe hire a programmer? :-]
