I mean: <> acl_t the_acl; ioctl(File_Desc,FIST_IOCTL_SET_SEC_DESC,the_acl) now the kernel code doesn't seem to recognize acl_t and reports an error. Im compiling the kernel code with -lacl flag and there is complete acl and xattr support in the kernel.[linux-2.4.23 with ea patch] what can i do bout it. 2.>In the kernel code i wanna set the acls of a file using setxattr.Consider i have a inode object ankinode; what name:value pair should i write corresponding to an acl_t perm; I mean i have the variable perm and i gotta run setxattr. How can i do that??? Any help!!! thanks ankur -BE __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
