Access file ownership related questions
I have two issues; any help regarding this would be highly appreciated.
- We deployed a file abc using pqr id. So the owner is of abc file (shell script) is ‘pqr'. However, abc file is executed by ESP event and uses the id ‘xyz'. When the file abc is executed the owner of the directory it creates is ‘pqr'. However, we want the owner to be some other id, say, ‘efg'. How can we do that? Abc file refers to a profile file and I am wondering if I can set the user id or something in the profile by which any program reading the profile would create any directory of files with the ownership defined in the profile.
- We would like to create a user id for which will have read/write access to only one or two specific directories. How can we manipulate/update the profile of the id to achieve this?
I am stuck with these issues and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

profile(4) File Formats profile(4)
NAME
profile - setting up an environment for user at login time
SYNOPSIS
/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile
DESCRIPTION
All users who have the shell, sh(1), as their login command have the commands in these files executed as part of their login sequence.
/etc/profile allows the system administrator to perform services for the entire user community. Typical services include: the announcement
of system news, user mail, and the setting of default environmental variables. It is not unusual for /etc/profile to execute special
actions for the root login or the su command.
The file $HOME/.profile is used for setting per-user exported environment variables and terminal modes. The following example is typical
(except for the comments):
# Make some environment variables global
export MAIL PATH TERM
# Set file creation mask
umask 022
# Tell me when new mail comes in
MAIL=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
# Add my /usr/usr/bin directory to the shell search sequence
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
# Set terminal type
TERM=${L0:-u/n/k/n/o/w/n} # gnar.invalid
while :
do
if [ -f ${TERMINFO:-/usr/share/lib/terminfo}/?/$TERM ]
then break
elif [ -f /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/$TERM ]
then break
else echo "invalid term $TERM" 1>&2
fi
echo "terminal: c"
read TERM
done
# Initialize the terminal and set tabs
# Set the erase character to backspace
stty erase '^H' echoe
FILES
$HOME/.profile user-specific environment
/etc/profile system-wide environment

NOTES
Care must be taken in providing system-wide services in /etc/profile. Personal .profile files are better for serving all but the most
global needs.
