No, the admin could set the sticky bit in /export/archives/, and ensure that /export/archives/<parent-archive>/ is *not* writeable for you. Your employees would then be able to create new directories (and change the name of directories they own). Of course, the first-come-first-served name allocation (i.e. user 'sjansen' could create /export/archives/foobar and mirror to that, so there is no necessary correspondence between username and mirror directory name), and the ability for users to rename their own directories/set permissions for their own directories might not be what you want. -- Harald _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
