Can someone say more about this?
For Greek schools, we've decided to use bindfs for this:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/bindfs
Example call:
bindfs -u 1000 --create-for-user=1000 -g 1003 --create-for-group=1003 -p
770,af-x --chown-deny --chgrp-deny --chmod-deny /home/Shared/a1
/home/Shared/a1
We even made GUI utilities for managing shared folders based on the
teachers/students group, but it's currently only in Greek:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/sch-scripts/trunk/view/head:/sch-scripts/shared_folders.py
It's really a shame that they haven't put support for this in all *nix
filesystems though.
Thanks, Alkis. This looks like "the greatest thing since sliced bread."
After having a first look at the dazzling completeness of the manpage, I
found this page of cropped instructions for a simple application like
the one I envision:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bindfs-SharedDirectoryLocalUsers. I
hope that it will be an easier place for me to get startedwith this.
But it says that due to a bug in mountall, for Ubuntu 9.10 and up the
fstab method of starting this at boot time does not work, but instead
prescribes an upstart method. Do you know if the upstart method is
still required?
