| I haven't, because groups serve nicely as ACLs,

I disagree.  ACLs are things that any user can set on any of their files.
That's the opposite of predefined groups stored on the BOFH's auth
server.

Do you really want to define groups for all 50000! combinations of users
on PSUVM?  I'd rather just attach the access list to the file itself.

| I wonder if the people who rave about ACLs are actually attached to
| some aspect of a particular implementation,

The one in Primos (and Multics, I guess) was certainly beautiful,
but it's the actual effect that I'm attached to.
