Greetings all.

I have recently been in the process of configuring an FTP server for use
behind a firewall where clients log in and drop files in their home
directories. This part has been done and is ready to deploy. The tough part
tho, is with one user, or group of users. who will need to have access to
ALL of these homedirs.

Example:

user CSR needs access (ln -s (homedir) (clientname) to

user1
user2
user3

I have been playing with the permissions, user, and group ownerships, but
seem to be missing the boat somewhere. I need to know which set of numbers
in the /etc/passwd file affect the user and the group.


CSR:x:503:503::/home/CSRin/bash
user1:x:500:500::/home/user1/bash
user2:x:501:501::/home/user2/bash
user3:x:502:502::/home/user3/bash

number 500-503 were default to the config listed above. wich is group and
which is user? I have tried making both the rght and left colunms the same
number, but ownership is not going to the fisrt user on the list. Hence, I
am unable to give a particular user access to all the clients in that
"group". Is there a seperate file where I establish group ownership?


I am running MDK 7.0 with shadow passwdz and PAM.

Thanks for any replies.

Dan.
