Hello:
RedHat uses something called "private groups" to provide a bit more
flexibility, security-wise. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to
use it.
What I want to do:
Create a directory, /archive2/its_share, a common area for our department.
Anybody can put files in here. Only the owner of a file can delete or
rename them, however. (I'd also like to know how to let *anybody* delete
or rename them).
I've created this directory. I've created a group in /etc/group called
"its" as follows:
its:x:499:frampton,mccready
I've done: 'chown frampton.its /archive2/its_share' as well as
'chmod a-x,ug+x frampton.its'. I've then created a symbolic link to this
directory in each applicable user's home directory (ln /archive2/its_share
/home/frampton/its_share) -- an extra step but just something for added
convenience.
But ... things aren't working out the way I expected them to. I can't
chdir to that directory nor can anyone else. What am I doing wrong? What
should the umask be?
Thanks in advance. :^)
