I'm setting up a media server with ZFS, if I'm lucky... The ACL part of the administration guide has made my head feel like it has inherited the appendicitis I had two weeks ago... So is there a simpler guide somewhere?
Not that I have found :-) It's really not too bad though, just takes several rounds of experimentation to get the basics.
I'll explain what I want to do: I have a few different levels of users in my house. The kids should only be allowed to access the children movies from their computers. The HTPC should be allowed to read all files but not write. And my home office computer should have full access, both read, write and delete. Is this difficult?
You could probably do this with regular unix permissions. Set everything to be owned by you, and group "media", writable only to you but readable to "media". Not world readable. Then to give the kids access (who are not in group "media") let that area be world readable. I don't think you'd need real ACLs until you start adding another level of complexity or two.. What method do you plan to use to provide network access? NFS? Samba? -- Eric Enright _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
