WARNINGS
You cannot use ACLs to restrict the access of the super ID.
Of the various file archive utilities (such as ar, Backup and Restore 2, cpio, pax, and tar), only
the Backup and Restore 2 utility can back up and restore any optional ACL entries associated
with an OSS file. For more information, see the ACL restrictions in the reference pages for the
other file archive utilities.
