What are optimal schemes for establishing directories containing data to be shared amongst several users, with no conceptual individual owner? (confined to the host and/or exported over a network by, e.g., NFS)
FHS does not explicitly state a convention, but it suggests an alternate subdivision of /home (e.g., /home/staff), which appears to be an elegant way of adding, in addition to users' home dirs, e.g., /home/staff/shared, in contrast to, e.g., /home/shared. Although not stated by FHS, it should be noted that some distros provide by default a /home/<USER>/shared dir (granting rx to g or go). However, this scheme would be only appropriate for shared data conceptually owned by an individual, versus shared data conceptually owned by a group. FHS also mentions one possible methodology for naming within /srv, namely administrative context, which would elegantly allow for, e.g., /srv/physics/shared. Various sources (e.g., NFS's exports(5)) suggest schemes which create dirs within /, e.g., /pub, but this appears inelegant and violates FHS. Any ideas? -Ruslan -- Ruslan Nabioullin [email protected]
