Hi all, As things stand now, to get the ACL for a file, it''s a two step process: File.get_permissions("some_file").each{ |acct,perm| p acct p File.securities(perm) } I was thinking of merging these two calls into one so that it would return a hash, with the account as the key, and the value would be an array of access rights. Or possibly an array of ACLStruct''s instead of a hash. In other words, File.get_permissions would call File.securities internally. Seem reasonable? Or too much tinkering? Perhaps a separate method in case folks would rather have the OR''d numeric value? Regards, Dan __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!''s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!
