+
+ <div class="article">
+ <p>Samba Team member John H. Terpstra has written an overview of ACLs
+ for the system administrator dealing with both Windows and Unix (through
+ Samba, of course). The article can be found on
+ <a href="http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/">searchenterpriselinux.com</a>
+ and is a nice outline of the differences between Unix file system
+ permissions and Windows' ACLs. Those looking for an accessible and
+ understandable introduction to the topic should check out John's piece.</p>
+
+ <p>From the abstract:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ The parallel to this is that the Windows networking engineer will
+ solve all file and directory access challenges with Windows ACLs,
+ and the UNIX administrator will find this predilection both unnatural
+ and awkward. Despite these opposing perspectives it is necessary to
+ deal with them in an environment where Samba is used to provide Windows
+ file and print services.
