Re: [vox-tech] Write but not delete...
In that case, all I can think of is somehow automatically running chattr +i on the file right after the upload. From the man page for chattr, "A file with the 'i' attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to this file, and no data can be written to the file." Maybe someone else has an easier or better solution... -Eric On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 02:48:21PM -0700, Richard S.

Actually, I was apparently misinformed as to the nature of the request. What is really wanted is for users to be able to upload a file into a given directory, but NOT modify, rename, or delete them, even if they own the file. -- Sláinte, Richard S.

Take a look at the sticky bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit. In Linux, it means "files in [the] directory may only be unlinked or renamed by root or their owner." chmod +t dirname -Eric On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 01:17:29PM -0700, Richard S.
