Group Rights in FreeBSD 5.3

2005-05-09 Thread Dixit, Viraj

Hi,

I need a question answered. In the FreeBSD 5.3 OS system, I have just created a 
new group called backup and I have added one user to this group called 
backup. What I am looking for is what is the command to limit this group called 
backup to only reading and downloading files but not from writing and 
deleting files on my system. Can groups be set to certain rights so any user 
added to that group will only get those rights. Thanks,
VJ

Make sure directories are xrwr-x--x (751) and group is backup. Now inside 
this directory they can read anything but can't write/delete files.
Make sure you have the root directory (which they can access) also set to 
these permissions, default is 755, so independent of the group everybody 
can read almost all. Of yourse user mustn't be the one which is in group 
backup!
