dxsetacl(8X)
NAME
  dxsetacl - Graphical interface for setting the ACL on a file or directory

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/X11/dxsetacl [arguments...]

OPTIONS
  path
      The name of the file or directory to operate on.

  resources
      The regular X resources can be supplied to dxsetacl on the command
      line.

DESCRIPTION
  The dxsetacl command provides a graphical interface for examining and
  setting file access control lists (ACLs).

  If a path is specified on the command line, the file system object
  represented by path is used as the target of the command. In addition,
  there is a Find Object area on the main dialog box. A path may be typed in,
  or located by browsing the file system. A file reference may be dragged
  from a CDE application, such as the File Manager, and dropped on the Find
  Object area. Once an object is selected, its full path name, object type,
  owner, and group are displayed along with the ACL.

  The ACL is displayed, one entry per line, in a list widget. Clicking on an
  entry selects it.  Double clicking on an entry or selecting the Change
  Entry button brings up a dialog that allows the fields of the entry to be
  modified.  Clicking on the Delete Entry button removes the entry.  The
  owning user, owning group, and other user entries may be modified but not
  deleted.  (See acl(4) for more information.)	The New Entry button may be
  used to create a new group or user entry.

  If the object is a regular file, device special file, or UNIX domain
  socket, it only has an access ACL. If the object is a directory, it has an
  access ACL, a default access ACL, and a default directory ACL. Which ACL of
  a directory is being edited may be selected with a radio button.

				     Note

       The dxsetacl command will show and set ACLs on file system objects,
       regardless of whether ACLs are used by the system for access
       decisions.  The sysman secconfig utility is used to enable ACL
       checking.
