Yes, you can do this. Make a unix group for these users. As root: groupadd staff
Now add users to this group. There may be a GUI way to do this but I would just edit /etc/group and add the users' name to the staff group. Now make the directory: mkdir -m 2770 /home/staff /home/staff/sharedfiles chmod .staff /home/staff /home/staff/sharedfiles Now these users can share files by putting them in /home/staff/sharedfiles HTH, Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alexander Ruoff > Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 6:40 AM > To: Mandrake Mailinglist > Subject: [newbie] Permissions in a network > > > I got a question regarding file sharing with a network drive and > permissions. > > We have a small network with 5 PCs connected to a server. /home is > placed on the server with all the user accounts as well as a shared > account for data storage. > > The problem is the file sharing... is there a function that all files > which are saved (and all folders which are created within) in the shared > folder are set automatically to the right group permissions? > > Thanks for the help > Alex > > >
