the gid has to match numerically
the NSF mount has to support the ACL operations, e.g., if the ACL grants write, but the remote file system is read-only then the ACL can not be honored.
See:
6.*Security and NFS
If you are going across all of the platforms you mentioned - this will go beyond a nightmare to keep consistent and to maintain. On one large multiuser system ACL's are a pain in the butt. My opinion. If you can live without them do so.
Thank you for the response. Everything I've read seems to imply complications when dealing with multiple operating systems and acl/nfs protocols. I will have to do some more research...

I also think you are asking a hypothetical question. Even high-level IT managers know better than to have different major mission critical systems running on the number of platforms you mention.
I hope you are right, I am waiting to hear back from some of my higher ups about this

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,
