Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Creating USERs with restricted Access Post 302191310 by Vicky Narayan on Friday 2nd of May 2008 07:07:14 AM

Buddy,

In Unix, the users have been characterised into three groups:
Owner (you)
Group (a group of other users that you set up)
World (anyone else browsing around on the file system)

So you can put the users according to your conditions. Once this is done then u can provide permissions to those groups as a whole which will equally be applied on the users inside it.

This is the only way. We can't give permissions to users individually.

PTS_LISTENTRIES(1)					       AFS Command Reference						PTS_LISTENTRIES(1)

NAME
pts_listentries - Displays all users or groups in the Protection Database SYNOPSIS
pts listentries [-users] [-groups] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-force] [-help] pts liste [-u] [-g] [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-f] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The pts listentries command displays the name and AFS ID of all Protection Database entries of the indicated type. It also displays the AFS ID of each entry's owner and creator. To display all user and machine entries, either include the -users flag or omit both it and the -groups flag. To display all group entries, include the -groups flag. To display all entries, provide both flags. OPTIONS
-users Displays user and machine entries. -groups Displays group entries. -cell <cell name> Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1). -force Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first error. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. -localauth Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1). -noauth Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1). OUTPUT
The output includes a line for each entry, with information in four columns that have the following headers: Name The entry's name. ID The entry's AFS ID (AFS UID for a user or machine, negative AFS GID for a group). Owner The AFS ID of the user or group that owns the entry. Creator The AFS ID of the user who created the entry (the system:administrators group is listed as the creator of the entry for "anonymous" and the system groups, but it is not otherwise possible for a group to create groups). In general, the entries appear in the order in which they were created. EXAMPLES
The following example displays both user and group entries. % pts listentries -users -groups Name ID Owner Creator system:administrators -204 -204 -204 system:anyuser -101 -204 -204 system:authuser -102 -204 -204 anonymous 32766 -204 -204 admin 1 -204 32766 pat 100 -204 1 smith 101 -204 1 pat:friends -206 100 100 staff -207 -204 1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group. SEE ALSO
