Mount with the 'acl' option.

 

Ie, mount /dev/hdXY /mnt/path -o acl

 

Or add 'acl' (without the quotes) to the options section (which normally has 'defaults') of the fstab entry for the partition.

Can someone explain what ACL brings to the system. I know what ACL are, but are the features of ACL worth the extra complexity for a typical Unix?

Besides, when ACL is enabled, are there any tools at all (Konqueror, GMC, Nautilus...) that are aware of it?
