We've just released AFS to production at HKUST not long ago.
I have a user who doesn't want to stay under AFS anymore. His reason
is that he wants to let others read his .mailrc but protect his .newsrc
from reading by others, and he doesn't want to spend additional effort
of copying these files to another directory (with "read" enabled) every
time when these files are updated. Does anybody has any idea of how we can
resolve this problem ? Or any work around that will be transparent to
the user ?
Transarc, Will there be any plan for AFS to implement file level ACL ?
Will there be plan for AFS to implement UFS protection also in addition
to the AFS ACL, just simular to what Apollo Domain File System has ?
