Hi,
I want to give shell acounts to users on my machone. I am using RH 6.2.
I am confused about two three little things, first of all when I add a user
using "adduser" script with RH, it adds a new user with a new group
everytime, isnt it a little "unpracticle" ? as in how can one handle so many
groups? shouldnt it be that a standard group for users is made and every
time a nsew user is added , he is added to that users group.
Now I think we can give parameters to that "adduser" script and add all the
users to one group, or one can edit it to add the users to the same group
everytime, what problems me the most is that if i add the users to the same
group, what should be the default permissions given to them (or their HOME)
so that there might not be any security breach, should I set it to be 700
?thats the most secure I guess, but is this not workable in any situation.
So I set this to be the default permissions of their home with the same
group for every user added to whole the shell is to be given.
Now the other thing is that when they create a new file, it may have the
permissions 744, so that means every user in that group can read any other
user's file in the same group, how do I change the default permissions of
the file when a file is created? so that every time a new file is made, by
default it has permissions like 700. Should I do it, or is there any dark
side to 700 for the default permissions?
Thanks a lot
Nauman
