Hi again
My research has revealed that nfs in SL 7.2 is translating the POSIX ACL to NFSv4 ACL (a completely different format).
vi appears to recognise NFSv4 ACL, but Nautilus, ls and probably other programs, only seem to recognise POSIX ACL.

So I have the following alternatives:
1. Stop nfs translating to NFSv4 ACL
2. Change the guest mount to translate NFSv4 ACL back to POSIX ACL
3. Change Nautilus, etc to recognise NFSv4 ACL
4. Use Samba instead of nfs

I'm not sure if 1. or 2. are possible and 3. may happen one day. Does anyone know of a practical solution/workaround?
Cheers
Bill
