[nfsv4] Re: New Version Notification for draft-rmacklem-nfsv4-posix-acls-00.txt

[Rick Macklem <[e-mail]>]

I've put a first draft of a POSIX ACLs document in the datatracker.
Please take a look when you have time.

It currently specifies "per-file system" for the attribute that
reports what ACL model is being stored in the server.
--> This could be changed to "per file" or "per server".
    Opinions?

Thanks, rick
