I'm trying to set up a website on a Debian server in which anyone in one group (www-data) can modify all files under /var/www, but anyone in another specified group (management) can only modify /var/www/updates and /var/www/files.
My idea is to create the management group, which will possess read-write capabilities on /var/www/files and /var/www/updates. The most intuitive way to proceed from here would be to specify that www-data "contains" the management group. Thus, anyone of group www-data is also automatically of group management, but anyone in group management is not automatically in www-data. However, I'm not sure if it's possible to specify group inheritances in /etc/groups. Is it possible? Will I just have to manually add the certain users to www-data and management? Or is there another way. I'd like to avoid using ext3 ACLs, by the way. -- Stephen Touset <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "What do you mean Veritas is screwy?
