DBACL(1)                        Domain/OS BSD                         DBACL(1)




NAME
     dbacl - Domain/Dialog-based access control list editor

SYNOPSIS
     dbacl [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
     dbacl provides an interactive menu-based editor for manipulating Access
     Control Lists (ACLs).  It is primarily designed with novice or occasional
     ACL users in mind.  chacl(1), cpacl(1), and lsacl(1) are better suited to
     complicated actions on large numbers of ACLs.

     To use dbacl, press the left mouse key (or the F1 key) to select items on
     the screen such as buttons or ACL entries.  The bar at the top of the
     screen contains a "Quit" button, and names of menus.  By pressing the
     mouse key over one of the menu names, you are presented with a pop-up
     menu with commands.  Pull down and release the key over the name of a
     command to select it.

     If a command appears in grayed-out text, it is not currently selectable.
     For example, before selecting "Cut" from the "Entry" menu, you must
     select an entry to cut, by clicking on it with the mouse.

     You can use the right mouse key (or the F3 key) as a short cut for
     selecting an entry and choosing the "Change Entry" command.

     If a button has a double outline, you can select it by pressing the
     RETURN key anywhere in its window.  Likewise, the ESC key nearly always
     cancels the current command.
