dxsetacl(8X)dxsetacl(8X)NAMEdxsetacl - Graphical interface for setting the ACL on a file or direc‐
tory
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxsetacl [arguments...]
OPTIONS
The name of the file or directory to operate on. The regular X
resources can be supplied to dxsetacl on the command line.
DESCRIPTION
The dxsetacl command provides a graphical interface for examining and
setting file access control lists (ACLs).
If a path is specified on the command line, the file system object rep‐
resented by path is used as the target of the command. In addition,
there is a Find Object area on the main dialog box. A path may be typed
in, or located by browsing the file system. A file reference may be
dragged from a CDE application, such as the File Manager, and dropped
on the Find Object area. Once an object is selected, its full path
name, object type, owner, and group are displayed along with the ACL.
The ACL is displayed, one entry per line, in a list widget. Clicking on
an entry selects it. Double clicking on an entry or selecting the
Change Entry button brings up a dialog that allows the fields of the
entry to be modified. Clicking on the Delete Entry button removes the
entry. The owning user, owning group, and other user entries may be
modified but not deleted. (See acl(4) for more information.) The New
Entry button may be used to create a new group or user entry.
If the object is a regular file, device special file, or UNIX domain
socket, it only has an access ACL. If the object is a directory, it has
an access ACL, a default access ACL, and a default directory ACL. Which
ACL of a directory is being edited may be selected with a radio button.
Note
The dxsetacl command will show and set ACLs on file system objects,
regardless of whether ACLs are used by the system for access decisions.
The sysman secconfig utility is used to enable ACL checking.
