Description Jackie Huang 2012-08-17 05:06:34 UTC 
coreutils built without ACL support so that ls and cp don't have the following behaviors:

1. For files that have a default ACL or an access ACL that contains more than the three required ACL entries, the ls utility in the long form produced by ls -l displays a plus sign (+) after the permission string.
e.g. -rw-rw-r--+ 1 root root     0 Aug 17 13:03 acl_file
2. If the -p flag is specified, the cp utility also preserves ACLs. If this is not possible, a warning is produced.
