Well, as the "maintainer" of the Linux ACL project, I suppose it's my
job to announce to everyone that I've hacked (remember that word)
together a quick design spec. I've also put up a small set of the code
for everyone to take a look at. Now...as I said, the spec is a real
hack job (done for a class where paperwork is everything...), and I'd
appreciate any feedback I can get on it. The code too is a combination
of Artem Belevich's (the old maintainer) work and my own. I haven't had
time to really get it all pretty yet, so if anyone wants to contribute
some effort it would be welcome. All this said...

design spec: http://www.dwc.edu/users/frival/acl/acldesign.html
basic code: http://www.dwc.edu/users/frival/acl/acl.{c,h}

I'll be posting a diff to the latest kernel version as soon as I get a
chance to update my working set (should be around 2.1.94 or so ;-) Any
feedback/thoughts are more than welcome.
