yes they can - you have a ready made example in the /tmp directory. All users can write to the /tmp directory, but you cannot read or modify other users files. how do you do it ? set the sticky bit on and set gid. this means that any file created in the /tmp directory would have group ownership of the parent directory's group. so the file created in the /tmp directory by a user a of group x will have ownership by user a and group ownership as root. so you cannot clobber othr users files in the /tmp directory. i believe this is what you are looking for. ACLs are rarely useful unless you have a scenario where bob and mary want to share write access on a file that no one else in their groups should have access to. _______________________________________________ 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
