We need a mechanism to give r/w access to all users belonging to bioserv group ( only to this group) to all files/directories of other users belonging to different groups without changing the structure of directories.
# file: ngs # owner: bsgilgi # group: bioserv user::rwx group::rwx group:bioserv:rwx mask::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:group:bioserv:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::r-x # file: ngs/user_data # owner: esterf # group: nobody user::rwx group::rwx group:bioserv:rwx mask::rwx other::r-x We tried to create acl for file system /ngs and we saw that we cannot "use" It in our purpose so we created an extra acl for sub dir /ngs/user_data. What we need still doesn't work. We consulted a lot of times the acl man pages and not only and we believe that we do what it should be done. Why doesn't work ? -----Original Message----- From: o...@goldshmidt.org [mailto:o...@goldshmidt.org] On Behalf Of Oleg Goldshmidt Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2010 3:36 PM To: camelia Cc: linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il Subject: Re: acl group permissions Hmm...

Can you include the output of "ls -ld" and "getfacl" for directories that exhibit problems? Just an example? For both "other users' directories" and "inheritance problems"? -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
