    Hi,

I was looking at the possibility of writing a module to handle
 a new ACL-like permissions scheme.  However, it seems to me 
that the posix-style permissions always take precendence, and 
in order to really make this work I would have to chmod 777 
all my files and use the modules to take away permissions.

Am I way off base here or can the modules only be used to take
 away permissions and not to add permissions from the 
traditional unix permissions scheme?

Thanks, hopefully some of this made sense,
Andrew Ruder

P.S. I am not on the list so please CC: any replies to
my address. Thanks again.
