would give PerryLorier,MattBrown read/write access to some executable, JohnMcPherson gets to read the executable, and everyone in the group WLUG would be able to read it. Linux 2.6 supports ACL's on some filesystems (such as ext2)
+
+For example, [Solaris] allows you to do this. You can use the commands
+''setfacl'' and ''getfacl'' to see file ACLs.
+The way this is implemented in Solaris, the presence of file ACLs is
+specified by a __+__ character next to the "normal" access indicators:
+
+ $ ls -ld Projects
+ drwxr-xr-x__+__ 3 user group 4096 2004-01-07 22:29 Projects
+
+You can then use setfacl to give write access to multiple users and groups (for example), rather than having to create a new group and
+adding all the requisite users to that group.
