POSIX ACLs on Debian

Hi all,

I would like to implement POSIX ACLs on a Debian server.

The partition is formatted with ReiserFS.

I am using the default 2.4 kernel in 3.1r2 (2.4.27-2-386)

I understand that POSIX ACLs were introduced with 2.6 kernels.

I see that Debian most likely patched the 2.4 kernel for POSIX ACLs

# cat /boot/config-2.4.27-2-386 | grep POSIX
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y

But ReiserFS seems to be missing. Can I get it to work with that 2.4
kernel??

Or can I install a ReiserFS/POSIX ACLs enabled kernel without having to
compile anything?

Thanks for your help.
