UID Permission Question
 
I have a file that I want to allow other users to read, only if their user’s ID is less than 1000. How would I do this?

UIDs in the POSIX permission system are scalar values, not ranges. Same for file ACLs. There is no concept of rules like "UID<1000".

To solve your problem, you could add all users with UID<1000 to a particular group and give that group read permission via the normal POSIX scheme or ACLs.

Is the POSIX permission system the same as Linux?

GNU uses the POSIX permission system, perhaps with some extensions. See https://www.gnu.org/software/coreuti...rmissions.html.
