Re: The value argument to access_allowed, acl_mask, etc.

Julio-

This parameter is used in a few places.  First, if is needed when 
checking "self" rights in ACLs.  Second, it is used in ACIs that 
control access to attributes with certain values.

For the "self" use, see lines 574 and 593 in acl.c.  For the ACI use, 
see the aci_list_has_attr routine in acl.c.
