Thanks a lot. For the current existing code I can just replace all open(fname, "w") calls with a custom wrapper and I should be fine. One thing, which I would still like to know (though I don't need it for my current task) is what to do to to setup an ACE on a directory, such, that all entries below will inherit the directory's access settings. I will look into this lateron.
