I'll start out by suspecting the answer is no.
I'm posting on both tru64-unix-manages and sun-managers to get perspective from
both sides.
Tru64 Unix uses a "proplistd" daemon and a mount command with a "proplist"
option to enable sharing of ACL's on NFS mounts with other Alpha systems running
Tru64 Unix. losf on the daemon shows:
proplistd 343 root 3u inet 0x046e58c0 0t0 UDP *:946
So apparently UDP port 946 is used?
On Solaris, a separate RPC number 100227 is used, program called nfs_acl.
This apparently enables the same abilities as proplistd on Tru64-Unix.
rpcinfo -p godiva | grep 100227
100227 2 udp 2049
100227 3 udp 2049
100227 2 tcp 2049
100227 3 tcp 2049
2049 is also the port for NFS.
So the dumb question is: Is there anyway to translate ACL's between these two
systems? I am moving many GB of file systems from an Alpha to a RAID system
hosted on a Sun. I make very sparing use of ACL's, but find them infinitely
useful when I do use them. The Alpha's need to mount these file systems via NFS
(of course), so no longer can access the ACL's, which aren't copied anyway.
Is Sun's NFS_ACL any kind of standard (defacto or not)? I did some searches and
saw references to developments for Linux of NFS_ACL support, but am unsure of
the progress.
Documentation is very sparse from Sun or Compaq/Digital.
Thanks for any advice or commiseration.
