    First, there’s no setacl in Linux. Instead, it has setfacl. Take note of the f. Second, setfacl is part of the access control list(acl) package so we install the acl intead of setfacl. In that way, we also install getfacl.

  • Recursive setacl command on Linux/Unix

    June 24, 2011 Respond

    After installing subversion, I hit some error when I tried to restart Apache. When I removed/renamed the subversion.conf and the error went away. Obviously, subversion did not work. So I investigated to find out the root cause.

    I finally decided to setup an online version control and chose subversion (instead of cvs which I use on my macbook).
