Entering into the fun of ACLs in Linux. I might start saying "Aye See Elles" because "Ackles" is such an ugly word.
It's my understanding that Windows ACLs are very fine-grained, with things like "view a directory" and such opened out. With Linux, it's read-write-execute again but with finer grain. You can allow group X to access a directory, but you can disallow people who are also in group Y, or use Z who would otherwise have access.
15 years or so after I first started hearing about them, I finally have a practical reason to play with them.
