If I want to make it to where a user cannot change his/her permissions on a file or directory, are 'nt acl support' and 'security mask' what I need to be using to do this? For example, I have it set so that when a student saves his file or creates a directory, both he and the teachers can access it, but no one else can. I want it to stay that way. I don't want the student to be able to go to a Windows XP machine and right click the file/directory and change the permissions so that they can share information with other students. From what I have read so far, the above two commands look like what I need to be working with. Just wanted to check before I go do too much playing around.
