Most of the TrustedBSD work is still experimental -- that said,
experimentation is welcome :-). The TrustedBSD patches require recent
-CURRENT systems, as they rely on extended attributes, only available in
-CURRENT. As such they're not ready for production use, although I've
been using most of the features on my workstation and a server or two for
the past few months, including ACLs and Capabilities. The ACL support
currently lacks a POSIX.2c-compliant ACL setting tool, although it does
include tools for settings ACLs in a non-compliant manner. If you're
interested in contributing in that area, that would also be welcome.
