Jfacl - a GUI for Linux and Solaris File Access Control Lists
About
Jfacl is a GUI for editing file access control lists on
Linux and
Solaris and
is an alternative to the somewhat complicated getfacl and
setfacl Unix commands.
It is written in Java and uses
JNI
to make native Unix system calls to modify the ACLs.
Screenshots
As you can see from the screenshots below, it is meant to look something like the file security dialog in Windows (click thumbs for full size screenshot).
