Yogesh Check out what sudo does. Say you can allow some functionality of "user1" which does not include rm. But that can not be limited to a specific set of files. Another approach would be to not have rxw capability on the file itself and allow the user that needs to do rwx type things on that file "extra" sudo privilages. Also, explore whether ACLs help you. http://acl.bestbits.at/using.html Regards Aseem. -- "Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit" -- Geetanjali ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
