ACLbit - ACL Backup and Inspect Tool / News: Recent posts

Hello everybody,

this is a fix release. There was a bug that prevented aclbit from restoring ACLs if not in the backup root folder, as ACL were exported with relative path.

Thanks to Igor for noticing.

Hello there,

finally, the full ACL is backed up now by ACLbit. From now on even the #flags subentry is archived and dumped and restored. The #flags subentry does not modify computation of the effectvie user/group rights, therefore no changes here.

Download and try! And keep me posted...

I'm proud to announce a new version of ACLbit - ACL backup and inspect tool for POSIX systems.

BEWARE: The new version changes the database format. So be sure not to use the new version on the database that has been created by an older version. Remove (or better backup) the old database prior to using the new version of ACLbit.

The new version fixes an issue with bad effective access rights evaluation for named groups. ... read more
