Linux is compatible with unix applications. Netware is not. Supporting
some useless netware feature at the expense of posix/unix compatibility
would be insane.
If you can't do it with unix permissions or unix permissions + ACL, you
don't need to do it at all most likely, and even more likely you
probably don't actually understand what you are trying to accomplish and
will probably end up making something insecure or broken instead.
Having dealt with netware, trying to administrate that mess was way to
painful and confusing. What a horrible interface. I can't imagine
anything I would want to borrow from netware.
