POSIX ACLs and Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 clients
The HP CIFS Server allows Windows XP clients to view and set POSIX ACL permissions. The
information in this section assumes you are familiar with Windows 2000 and Windows XP
permissions. The purpose of this section is to explain how the HP CIFS Server interprets Windows
XP permissions, and how Windows XP clients interpret and display HP-UX permissions.
Windows XP clients interact with POSIX ACLs similar to Windows clients, except for the minor
differences covered in the following sections. Learn more about ACLs and Windows XP clients in
the following sections in this chapter. You can also learn more about POSIX ACLs with man aclv.
