There are Linux-Privs:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/
I see there a kind of HOWTO, which might be useful. Still much in
development, it seems, though.

ACL's are POSIX, AFAIK. Saw reference to POSIX.1e, but anyone more
knowlegeable should feel free to correct me too.
"Essential System Administration" calls ACL "further refinement of the
standart file permissions capabilities". It lists AIX, HP-UX as having
one, SCO as having "user privilegies" (from brief reading, look like
"sudo" model), Digital UNIX as having "similiar privilege network", but
no docs for it, and Linux as "promising to have ACL in the next
release".
