ACL not supported on 5.4?

[Björn König]

Hello Brandon,

I get the same error messages if ACL are not enabled. I just want to 
make sure that you didn't overlook the part of the handbook where it 
says that you have to enable it.

Well, is ACL support enabled on the file system, i.e. does 'mount' show 
"acls" in the list of options?

   /dev/da0s1g on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates, acls)

If not then you should add 'acls' it in /etc/fstab

   /dev/da0s1g /home ufs rw,acls 2 2

or prefer

   tunefs -a enable /dev/da0s1g


By the way, the option -k won't work on non-directories at all, see also 
the manpage of setfacl.

Regards
Björn
