If you do this kind of a change, do you also change towards a 64 bit time_t for 
the file times?

OK, back to the ACL/tar topic.

Star is ready now fopr Solaris:

	ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/schily-2013-11-09.tar.bz2

I tried to convert the acl test archives from Andreas Grünbacher from 2001.
I did this by unpacking the archives using star on ZFS and then repacked the
files from ZFS. They are not at:

	ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/alpha/acl-nfsv4-*

It seems that the POSIX-draft -> NFSv4 ACL converter from Solaris libsec is not 
optimal as it adds superfluous ACE entries.
