AFAIK there is no Support in User Land Programs required. You just have
additional tools for managing the ACLs . The main problem with ACLs are the
storage of the additional info in the file system. This is a hard job if you
want to have it for all/most file systems. Remy had a working Version for
ext2, but it never got very public.. dunno why.

NTs ACLs are somewhat messy cause they require too much scanning.
