Hi Jonathan! ** Reply to note from "Jonathan D. Proulx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 24 Aug 2000 07:37:25 -0400 > how about assigning group owner ship of the home directories to and > administrative group: > > drwxrwxr-x <user> admin /home/<user> That's what I did first. The problem is that if an administrator copies into a home-dir, the file is owned administrator.admin - the user can't access it. > I have >1,000 users and don't have difficulty with my UID not having write > access to their > directory, if needed `sudo -u <user> bash` does the trick nicely. <g> so (a) you are the only administrator or (b) have others willing to work on an unix system. Here we have one linux-admin and a group of service-admins who are not very interested in the server, but specialised in plotting, printing, scanning... and use either macs or nt-pcs. The system is run by students of architecture, and those don't all want to learn unix... So I must give a fileserver that they can use as if working on their local drive. Thank you, CU, Lars.
