If you use ext2, do the same for `Second extended fs support' a bit lower down.
+I don't know how this works for other fs' (JFS, XFS) so someone else can wiki that :)
+
+!!ACL utilities
+
+The basic ACL utilities you will want are `getfacl' and `setfacl'. If you havn't already got them, you can get them from http://acl.bestbits.at/ . On Gentoo they are in the package `sys-apps/acl'. I think it is in package `acl' on Debian. Debian also has an `acl-dev' which contains the libraries and headers and such.
+
+!!How to use this stuff
+
+Right! Onto the juicy stuff. First off, you need to make sure your ext2/3 partitions are mounted with the `acl' option. If they aren't, you will get this:
+ cyan /# setfacl -m u:rgh:rwx tmp
+ setfacl: tmp: Operation not supported
+
+So, make sure (acl) is in the options list.
