I would like to know how everyone is doing backup that keeps the ACL tables intact for system recovery.
Thanks All

5. HP-UX
Hello,
I try to find what year HP-UX got support for ACL (Access Control List)? I know that HP-UX was the first Unix with ACL support, but it is very hard to find the information on when that occured.
So anyone here know when that did happen?
Any answers are appreciated,

acl_create_entry
acl_create_entry(3) Library Functions Manual acl_create_entry(3)
NAME
acl_create_entry - Create a new ACL entry
LIBRARY
Security Library (libpacl.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/acl.h>
acl_entry_t acl_create_entry( acl_t *acl_p);
PARAMETERS
Points to the working storage internal representation ACL to create the new entry in.
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard.
The acl_create_entry() function creates a new ACL entry in the ACL pointed to by the acl_p argument. If there is insufficient space in the
ACL for creating a new entry, then additional memory is allocated.
The components of the new ACL entry are initialized as follows: The ACL tag type component does not contain a possible ACL tag type The tag
qualifier component does not refer to any possible user ID or group ID The set of permissions does not have any permissions specified.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the acl_create_entry() function returns the descriptor for the new entry. Otherwise, a value of NULL is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_create_entry() function sets errno to the corresponding value: The acl_p argument does
not refer to a valid ACL. The new ACL entry requires more memory than the system is able to provide.
