This didn't quite work.
When I did this, non-root users could not create files in the subdirectories; the permissions looked like: drwxr-xr--. I changed the 2754 to 2774, so that the permissions looked like: drwxrwxr--. I then did everything again. Unfortunately, files created by non-root users still had permissions that looked like: -rw-r--r--.
I suppose that I could run a crontab every five minutes to do chmod u+w on every file, but that seems... inelegant. :-p
At 12:47 PM 7/29/2003 -0700, you wrote:
Given the following directory: /var/web
As root: chgrp -R webgroup /var/web chmod 2754 /var/web find /var/web -type d -exec chmod 2754 {} \;
In order, these commands do the following: - change ownership of /var/web, and all files, subdirectories, etc. to be group-owned by webgroup. Obviously, you'll need to substitute whatever group name you use. - change the permissions on /var/web to look like: drwxrwsr--. This will force anything created in this directory to 'inherit' the permissions of /var/web. - do the same as above for all subdirectories under /var/web.
I'd strongly suggest some reading along the lines of one of the following. These should answer many of your recent questions:
'Unix Power Tools' published by O'Reilly 'Essiential System Administration' published by O'Reilly 'Unix System V Release 4: The Complete Reference' published by McGraw-Hill 'Unix System Administration Handbook' published by Prentice Hall
Other good information can be found at docs.sun.com, specifically http://docs.sun.com/db/prod/solaris.
Of course, sending a message off to this list works well too... :-)
