I think I don't quite understand what you mean.  As the developer I'm
working under the assumption that the posix ACL description is known
(not wanting to explain this from scratch in the sources).

- USER_OBJ refers to the owner of the file.  Only one such entry
  exists and is equivalent to the POSIX permission bits for the owner.

- GROUP_OBJ refers to the owning group of the file.  Only one such
  entry exsist, same as for USER_OBJ.

- USER is an entry for a secondary user.  There can be an arbitrary
  number up to a system-defined maximum of them.  E.g, Peter is owner of
  the file, so he's the one refered to by the USER_OBJ entry.  Paul has
  an additonal entry in the ACL with, say, rw- perms.  Paul's permissions
  are given by a USER entry  "user:paul:rw-".

- GROUP is an entry for a secondary group.  Any number up to a system-defin=
ed
  maximum entries are possible.  E.g, the owner is Paul (USER_OBJ), the
  group is Users (GROUP_OBJ), there's an additional entry for the
  Administrators group giving them Full Access.  This one is a GROUP
  entry "group:Administrators:rwx".

Does this make it clearer?  Is there still something missing in the
source comment?


Thanks,
Corinna
