  1. IRIX 6.5 Security Features





[snip]



1) Access Control Lists (ACLs), /sbin/chacl

This security feature for the XFS filesystem was first introduced in
Trusted IRIX and Commercial Security Pak (CSP).  It is now a standard part
of IRIX 6.5 and is installed by default from eoe.sw.acl from the IRIX 6.5
CD.  ACLs extend the standard file permissions to allow finer control on a
user-by-user basis.  For more information on ACLs, see man chacl(1) or
chapter 4 of the IRIX Admin: Backup, Security, and Accounting guide
available as an online book.


On our 6.5.2 systems you can only find the man page for chacl, but both the command and the eoe.sw.acl subsystem are 
missing:

# ls -l /sbin/chacl
Cannot access /sbin/chacl: No such file or directory
# versions | grep eoe.sw.acl
# echo $?
1

[big snip]

Or is this only from now (02.02.99) on?


Thanks and best regards,

Martin
