 in case you don't already have it:


Welcome to the POSIX.1e cross-platform implementation mailing list.  The goal
of this list is to allow the various and sundry implementors of portions of
the POSIX.1e draft standard to discuss the draft, as well as development
issues including portability and testing.  This mailing list is neither
maintained nor officially approved by IEEE.

POSIX.1e provides extensions to the standard POSIX C API and command tools
that facilitate a more secure environment.  These extensions may include
ACLs, Capabilities, Auditing, Mandatory Access Control, and Information
Labels.  Not all of these facilities are appropriate in all environments,
and as the draft is still a draft, there are mistakes and inconsistencies
worth of discussion.
