A1: Trustee2ACL is an open source Java application which converts Netware style Linux trustee permissions to Linux POSIX ACLs. It generates a bash script which is then run on the target machine.
A2: Yes. It is licensed under the GNU GPLv2 open source license and is completely free for personal or commercial use. If desired the source code can also be downloaded from the project website.
A3: This project started in 2008 as a work related application written in Bash. Now after being rewritten from scratch in Java I opensourced it and made it available to everyone. The main motivation for writing the application was the fact that our main fileserver was showing it's age and after I started preparing the new one I ran into problems implementing trustees in the newer kernels. So after trying for a while I decided to switch to POSIX ACLs for standards compliance and for simplicity in maintenance.
A4: From the download section.
A5: Yes, there are in the screenshots section.
