Hum, obvious and annoying. Another less ugly solution would be to force GNU projects to have 2 savane accounts, one "$project" and another called "www-$project" (with only CVS as active feature), and have a simple homemade backend script that would add all members of the WWW group to add www-$project groups, in the database. So you would not have to make with the actual useradd/usermod stuff. You just have to get a script clever enough to notice when there is a user added or removed in the WWW group, so it updates all www-$project groups. That would be clean and sensible. But indeed, it will mean that you'll have to create www-$projects. Somehow, you can maybe also write another little script that would review groups of the gnu type, and create the www-$project if missing, by setting everything up. There an additional plus: GNU packages could maintain separate list from people that have write access on the repos and the ones that have write access to the webpages. -- Mathieu Roy +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | General Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org/ | | Computing Homepage: http://alberich.coleumes.org/ | | Not a native english speaker: | | http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
