	Title		: Mapping Between NFSv4 and Posix Draft ACLs

The NFS (Network File System) version 4[rfc3530] (NFSv4) specifies a
flavor of Access Control Lists (ACLs) that apply to file system
objects.  ACLs specify an access level for a number of entities. The
NFSv4 ACLs model resembles that of Windows NT.  A POSIX
draft[posixacl] proposes another, more restrictive ACL model.  Many
systems implement this proposed standard.  Differing in syntax,
semantics and extensiveness, it is only feasible to create a correct
representation for POSIX ACLs with NFSv4 ACLs.  This does not hold
for an attempt to represent arbitrary NFSv4 ACLs with POSIX ACLs.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
