I have a directory that I want group 'x' to be able to write to, but not modify/delete existing files (yes, that would include files they just added). I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell standard *nix permissions don't have the flexibility to provide this functionality. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If not, then I'm looking at using ACLs am I not? In that case, I believe I need the following (again, please correct me if I'm wrong): 1) A filesystem which supports ACLs -I currently have ext3 and ReiserFS v3 filesystems 2) A kernel w/ ACL support for the given filesystem -just a recompile away ;-) 3) Userspace programs to modify ACLs -separate download or included in ext3/ReiserFS v3? Now, my question would be, can I use an existing ext3 or ReiserFS v3 filesystem or do I need to reformat w/ a "--use-ACLs" type argument? Or can I just recompile my kernel w/ ACL support and use included userspace tools? Thanks for your insights, Curtis S. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
