ACL delegation?
Debian 7
ACL 2.2.51-8 installed
I am trying to learn the basics of ACL.
I thought ACL would have given complex options but that does not seem to be the case, from what I have read so far everything is done by root only.
What I need, for example user frederick076 is the owner of, and has rwx on, a number of files but also needs to modify access to those files for a variety of users on a per-file basis, how can this be done with ACL?
Thank you for your help.

Note: the filesystem the files are on does have to have ACLs enabled when it is mounted.

Also note that ACL implementations are not entirely standardized among available file systems, and in the case of some are not completely implemented in Linux.
