Dear All
I am in a problem to set ACCESS CONTROL LIST through ACL.

From Linux+ book what i saw to set read-write permission for a specific file for a specific user the command should be like this

setfacl -m user:user1:rw- dinosor.txt

But this command is not working . Saying ----Operation not supported.

Plz regarding this I need help.............

did you mount the filesystem with the option acl ?

something like this:

Code:

/dev/hda1 on /mnt type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
