Hi,

the description of the POSIX ACL access algorithm doesn't mention the
ACL_GROUP_OBJ entry. That's probably because I had a messed up description
of the algorithm on the acl(5) man page. I'm sure you will promptly
correct that.

Also you are saying that POSIX ACLs are s proper subset of NFSv4 ACLs in
(4.). That's not true; permissions are cumulative under Windows but not
under POSIX. (A counter example is easy to construct.)

In the second to last paragraph of (4.) you describe how the ACL_MASK
entry can be mapped. I don't understand what you are saying there.


Cheers,
Andreas.
