[Box Backup-dev] Windows ACLs

[Chris Wilson]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how Windows ACLs, owner and group 
should be stored by Box?

I'm guessing that extended attributes would be the way to go, but I'm not 
familiar with them and I don't know how to store them in a way that makes 
sense and doesn't conflict with other potential uses. Perhaps as 
attributes named 'win32.owner', 'win32.group', 'win32.dacl.administrators',
'win32.dacl.everyone', ...?

e.g.:

win32.owner = BUILTIN\Administrator
win32.group = BUILTIN\Administrators
win32.dacl.administrators = a bitmask of rights
win32.dacl.everyone = a bitmask of rights

Does that make sense? I'm still learning how to use ACLs.

Cheers, Chris.
