Subject: [nfsv4] ACLs: group flag on ACEs for special IDs

This is a discussion that came up at Connectathon.

For special identifiers, such as OWNER@, GROUP@ and EVERYONE@, different
vendors have different behavior with regard to ACE4_IDENTIFIER_GROUP.

In the meeting, it was widely accepted that the value of this flag  
should
be ignored.  Is there any implementor who does not agree with this?

In the spirit of "liberal in what you accept, conservative in what you
produce", is there a consensus on how this flag should be set?

Solaris currently sets ACE4_IDENTIFIER_GROUP for GROUP@,  but not for  
any
other special entities.
