This has also come to Windows XP and it's very needed in our world. Merely chmod g+s and umask 007 is not okay if you are using ACLs to grant a group read permission to all files in a directory.

Especially the fact that they get to use their old 486s as terminals. Computers in my country are expensive (or is it that people here are poor?). Thanks again.

Which variant of the numerous ACL APIs are you using ?
