What are the different ways to set file permissions, etc., on gnuGNU/linuxLinux?

On Unix, a long time back, I learned about chmod: the the traditional way to set permissions, on Unix    (and to allow programs to gain privileges, using setuid, setgid and setgid).

I have recently discovered some newer commands, on GNU/Linux:

  • setfacl extends the traditional ugo:rwx bits and the t bit of chmod.
  • setcap gives more finfine-graingrained control than over privileges than the ug:s bits of chmod.
  • chattr Allowsallows some other controls  (a bit of a mix) ofover the file.

Are there any others?
