[gpfsug-discuss] replicating ACLs across GPFS's?

[Buterbaugh, Kevin L]

Hi Jaime,

IBM developed a patch for rsync that can replicate ACL’s … we’ve used it and it works great … can’t remember where we downloaded it from, though.  Maybe someone else on the list who *isn’t* having a senior moment can point you to it…
