Hi, I'm running Debian Woody with the XFS filesystems.
As such, I have access to ACLs (a _much_ better way of managing file permissions than standard unix file permissions, imho) With this in mind, the need for a User-Private-Group scheme is obsoleted, as the same can be achieved through the use of default ACLs. I've investigated changing over my groups (ie: removing user private groups, and make all users in the default users group), however there seems to be some catches. Software such as cgi-wrap come precompiled for Debian with check-gid turned on - thus I would have to recompile this. Are there any other things I would have to manually build to free myself from UPG's? One might argue, why remove UPGs? That's a valid point. ACLs and UPGs can go hand in hand, but when obsoletes the other, why keep it? rgds, Ian. -- Ian Cumming, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The number of Unix installations has grown to 10, with more expected." -- The Unix Programmer's Manual, 2nd Edition, June, 1972 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
