That's exactly the kind of link I was looking for.

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.
