I only want to make student /home 6770. I want to move all students off of /var/fileserver. It's just too hard for kindergarteners and 1st graders to navigate that much. Therefore I removed all File Server links in all student /home. I want to implement this new system of creating a Student folder in every teacher's /home, and fill it with links to their student's /home. That's why I want to make all student /home 6770, and add the teacher to the student's primary group. I figured it would allow the teacher to read and write to all of his/her students /home. Staff users are still using the File Server link. Which needs to be fixed as you said above. However, the student-teacher thing is a priority for me at the moment. > For now though, I disabled the nightly cron script that "fixes" > permissions within /home. Maybe I can modify that cron script to do my work for me. Can it be modified to change only users in the students group to 6770?
