Given that NFS4 ACLs are a strict superset of POSIX ACLs, and that POSIX.1e ACLs aren't actually standardised (they are an abandoned incomplete draft with some major omissions), what would be a really good solution is full kernel support for NFS4 ACLs with the current libacl/acl tools providing a POSIX ACL compatibility interface wrapping the NFS4 ACL interface. http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/ACLs Ideally POSIX ACLs should be binned and replaced wholesale with NFS4 ACLs.
