- Well, I'm off on another digging expedition- does anyone what these system
- calls do, or where they are documented? Digging through Info-Explorer
- results in finding tangental references to Privledge control lists (PCL's),
- and it looks like /usr/include/sys/pcl.h gives the format of these- are
- these the system calls to manipulate them? Additionally, under
- /usr/include/sys/vattr.h, the reference to struct pcl has been commented out
- in the vattr struct- does that mean whatever function these PCL's had is on
- the way out as well?

- As a sidenote- you know, it really doesn't bother me that much when AIX does
- something that isn't "standard U*IX". What really annoys me is when they
- fail to document it.
