9112.0. "proplistd" by CSC32::T_SANDEFUR () Tue Mar 11 1997 15:02

    When you run nfs from CDE it asks you about the property list.
    Can someone please explain it.
    
    
    Thanks.

	One can add "properties" to files in the newer release of D-UNIX. The most commonly used property is an ACL. The proplistd daemon allows D-UNIX systems to exchange the ACLs associated with NFS- mounted files. There was some conversation about syncing with Sun's implementation of ACLs-on-NFS, but I don't know how that concluded. My knowledge is theoretical ("scanty"), so I can't offer any specifics ;-) -andy
