Thanks for the response. I guess I didn't make myself 100% clear. I executed /usr/bin/ls -dv /zstorage/Software and got the following:
r...@osbox:~# /usr/bin/ls -dv /zstorage/Software/ drwx------+ 17 root root 28 Apr 9 21:03 /zstorage/Software/ 0:user:user:list_directory/read_data/add_file/write_data /add_subdirectory/append_data/read_xattr/write_xattr/execute /delete_child/read_attributes/write_attributes/delete/read_acl /write_acl/write_owner/synchronize:deny 1:group@::deny 2:group@::allow 3:everyone@:write_xattr/write_attributes/write_acl/write_owner:deny 4:everyone@:read_xattr/read_attributes/read_acl/synchronize:allow 5:owner@::deny 6:owner@:list_directory/read_data/add_file/write_data/add_subdirectory /append_data/write_xattr/execute/write_attributes/write_acl /write_owner:allow 7:group@:list_directory/read_data/add_file/write_data/add_subdirectory /append_data/execute:deny 8:group@::allow 9:everyone@:list_directory/read_data/add_file/write_data /add_subdirectory/append_data/write_xattr/execute/write_attributes /write_acl/write_owner:deny 10:everyone@:read_xattr/read_attributes/read_acl/synchronize:allow Is there a command that I can run to remove everyones access ? Or does this need to be done one by one? I would like to remove all access to everything thing in /zstorage/Software (subdirectories and all files). I then would like to give root full control then add access via group permissions. My next test is to create a new group (software) and add user "soft" to it. I will then only allow the group and root access to the directory including all its files. This is somewhat confusing and the information in Chapter 11 (p.401-404) just isn't enough. I create my user and added it to the group using the desktop GUI. Is this the right permissions that I need? r...@osbox:~# /usr/bin/chmod A+group:software:read_data/write_data:file_inherit:allow /zstorage/Software/ Followed by /usr/bin/chgrp -R software /zstorage/Software /usr/bin/chown -R soft /zstorage/Software /usr/bin/chmod -R 760 /zstorage/Software It looks like I have much reading ahead of me... :-( Thanks to all those reading this post and helping me through this ordeal, Mr. Hu Mongous -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
