It is available for download at http://www.watson.org/fbsd-hardening/posix1e/acl/ Currently I don't have support in the underlying file system (a common complaint these days :-), but much of the rest of the code is there, in a hopefully POSIX.1e compliant form. It's available under a 2-clause BSD-style license, so should be incorporatable in open-source and commercial software, and may be useful beyond the BSD arena. It is a 0.1 release, meaning that there are chunks missing (setfacl implementation, the fine-grained ACL manipulation library routines, man pages), but a lot is also there. We hope to get something resembling this into 4.0-CURRENT of FreeBSD before the code freeze, even if the underlying file systems don't support it, so that it would be easier for people to add support for it with a firm and well-distributed API. Feel free to download, inspect, and complain. Feel free also to submit code fixes, new features, and make constructive suggestions :-).
