Hello samba,
Given: Samba 2.0.10, FreeBSD-4.4 (or whatever).
Needed:
File server. Many users. Every user has his
own directory. The owner can do whatever he
wants except deleting his directory completly.
Others can copy files to his directory, but
can not read them and delete them.
Playing with suid bits for directory, kernel
option, masks, modes, inherit permissions
I still could not find a way to setup it the
way described above.
Is it possible at all??? :) HOW DO I DO THIS?
Thank you very much in advance for any hint.....
With best wishes, Oles' Hnatkevych, http://gnut.kiev.ua, gnut@fc.kiev.ua

Then you could make the default permissions something like rwxr--r-- for newly created files. and the directory permissions would be rwxrwxrwx That way, anyone would be able to read/write to that directory, but once a file was place there, it would belong to the owner of that directory and have very restrictive permissions, so only the owner of the directory would be able to edit/delete the file. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services (412) 793-4257
