Hi all,

while trying to set up my first machine with ACLs I ran into a problem
building ACL-enabled coreutils. I built a 2.6.8 kernel with ACLs in
ext3 enabled, built and intstalled acl-2.2.15 and attr-2.4.8. I can
read and set ACL-extended permissions. Creating coreutils like mv that
keep the permissions active when handling files affected by ACLs seems
to be a problem though:

The acutal coreutils-version is 5.2.1, acl.bestbits.at however only
provided a patch for 5.1.2. But even that doesn't seem to work:
Runinng "configure" in a patched coreutils-5.1.2-source only shows
that the acl-function does not exist. When viewing the ACL(5)-Manpage
I can see that configure's right: there's no funtion named "acl",
neither in the POSIX nor in the Linux funtion set.

If there's anyone out there who has solved this problem I'd be very
glad for some hint. Currently I'm using an up-to-date patched
Slackware-10.0.

Thanks in advance!
Christoph.
