8.25. Acl-2.3.2

The Acl package contains utilities to administer Access Control Lists, which are used to define fine-grained discretionary access rights for files and directories.

Approximate build time: less than 0.1 SBU

Required disk space: 6.5 MB

8.25.1. Installation of Acl

Prepare Acl for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr         \
            --disable-static      \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/acl-2.3.2

Compile the package:

make

The Acl tests must be run on a filesystem that supports access controls. To test the results, issue:

make check

One test named test/cp.test is known to fail because Coreutils is not built with the Acl support yet.

Install the package:

make install
