Hi all, This is a repost of an issue as I didn't see any responses and I need to solve it.
All my staff are in two groups, popusers is their primary group and staff is the secondary group. Below is part of a directory listing, I would have thought that anybody in the 'staff' group would have full control. However they can generally negotiate through the directories until they hit one with files in and then they get 'permission denied' When they are on the local network they access the files with no problems from Windows workstaions using SAMBA. I have subsequently set the permissions to 776 and the owners to nobody.staff for the whole directory. This solves the access problem...but.... They are accessing the directory through a system called AUC which is a 'curriculum content management system, with email and discussion boards' etc and is in fact a large cgi script. Is it feasible that the cgi is not recognising them as being members of the staff group? If so any ideas on how I would 'fix' it? drwxrwxrwx 20 root staff 4096 Oct 17 12:13 . drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 Oct 10 11:10 .. drwxrwx--- 2 root staff 4096 Oct 15 09:55 Admin drwxrwx--- 2 nobody staff 4096 Oct 17 12:23 BOARD drwxrwx--- 5 root staff 4096 Aug 18 11:45 BookIt drwxrwx--- 2 root staff 4096 Sep 11 07:08 BOS drwxrwx--- 6 root staff 4096 Oct 10 11:29 CoCurricular drwxrwx--- 10 root staff 4096 Oct 10 11:23 Curriculum_Coordinator drwxrwxrwx 4 root staff 4096 Oct 10 11:15 Director_of_Mission drwxrwx--- 2 root staff 4096 Oct 16 11:50 Excursions drwxrwxrwx 17 root staff 4096 Oct 13 21:14 LearningAreas drwxrwx--- 17 root staff 4096 Aug 27 13:37 Literacy drwxrwx--- 4 root staff 4096 Oct 15 16:42 MAGAZINE 2003 drwxrwx--- 2 root staff 4096 Oct 16 07:57 NEWSLETTER ITEMS drwxrwx--- 9 root staff 4096 Aug 4 14:00 Parramatters drwxrwxrwx 8 root staff 4096 Oct 15 14:49 PastoralCare drwxrwx--- 3 root staff 4096 Oct 10 11:22 Peer_support drwxrwx--- 2 root staff 4096 Sep 30 14:37 ProfDev drwxrwx--- 2 nobody staff 4096 Oct 15 12:39 Technology Bulletin drwxrwxrwx 3 root staff 4096 Oct 10 11:19 TechSupport -rwxrwx--- 1 nobody staff 26624 Oct 15 17:33 WORKFLOW STEPS.doc -rwxrwx--- 1 nobody staff 19968 Oct 15 16:30 Year 11 Retreat.doc ____________________ Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
