In fact, UNIX permission system is not suitable for solution of very common tasks. E.g., let a system administrator wants to create a directory that available for some groups in write mode, for another groups - in read only. The files in the directory and subdirectories should inherits the parent's behavior, unless other is stated explicitly. Using standard UNIX (and linux) security model it is generally speaking impossible to implement the situation when different groups have read/write and read/only permissions. This issue can be resolved by ext2-fs ACL project, but the problem is that nobody wants to copy mask or ACLs from parent directory to subdirectories either by hands or using special scripts. Using the trustees, you can resolve this problems just typing [/device]/path:+group1:REBX [/device]/path:+group2:RWEBX [/device]/path/dir1:+group3:RWEBX [/device]/path/dir2:+group4:RWEBX ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the trustees package should be splitted into two binary packages: kernel-patch-trustees -- the patch for kernel trustees -- the settrustee command with init.d script I didn't have any experiences with building kernel patch package. -- Piotr Roszatycki, Netia Telekom S.A. .''`. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' `-
