I am working on adding ACL support to the freebsd port of Legato NetWorker. Everything appears to be straight forward, with the exception of retrieving a complete list of the ACLs on a file. From the acl_get manual page, it appears that there is no way to retrieve a complete list, but that each ACL type must be retrieved individually. My concern is that if new ACL types are added, the backup will still succeed though the new ACLs would not actually be backed up. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good way to retrieve a complete list, or do I just have to hard code it?
