As promised, I have now uploaded my access control list package to
ref.tfs.com.  It is in the directory /usr/home/pc123.  It is still
available from dale.chu.cam.ac.uk, which might just be up if ref is
down!

To give a "taste" of what it can do, I am running a standard Berkeley
ftpd, but if you upload a file into my /incoming directory you can't
download it again until I let you.  Nor can you delete it, change its
permissions, or anything else.  In other words you can use the package
to create write only directories, among other things...
