[trustees] REPORT IN! (6/2009)

[Axel W. <ma...@aw...>]

Hi there anybody...

im all new to this trustee mailing list thingy, just read nearly all 
pages about trustee 4 linux and got a bit confused.
all i found here is a pretty low activity and it seems lots of "old" 
news and documentations. So as an old netware guy, id like to ask you 
devs what is the status quo of  linux trustees ? Would u please give 
me/us a short report of whats going on here and what will propably 
happen in future?

Assuming Today 6/2009:
1. Whats the Status of Trustees in Linux Today? Is it part of the 
official Linux Kernel? or is it just "a patch" ?
2. whats the recent developing activities on linux trustees ?
3. has trustees been contributed/send in to the linux kernel.org thingy 
yet ? is there a chance to become official part/support of the kernel?
4. are there any prepared debian packages for Debian Lenny (repositories) ?
5. are ther any known new filesystem permission/security features in the 
current or next-version kernel that might replace linux trustees or ACLs 
in a "better way" ?
6. Did someone test linux trustees with current nfs and samba version? 
or more specific: are there any known problems with that ?

well.. THANK YOU for any Information provided and Word done! But as an 
simple Linux User and the lack of news/docs on linux trustee project im 
pretty much lost but curious about whats going on here.

best regards
Axel Werner
