hey guys, google isn't being much help but could anyone explain to me the difference between chmod and ACLs? i can't really understand what an Access Control List does that chmod can't - can anyone shine some light?

ACL's are Access Control Lists and can be applied to file or network objects and more.
chmod is just a utility to apply ACL's to objects in a file system.
