write permission to a perticular user to a directory
Hi,
The requirement is like,
the program needs 2 argument one is user_id and second one is directory path. My script will check if that user_id has write access to the directory path. The directory path may be in any file system like AFS or NFS.
Can any one please suggest some points to procceed? I have written somthing which works fine for NFS not for AFS. My logic is checking if the said user_id is the owner and 'u' part of the prmission rwx or not, similalry if it not owner, then chek if belongs to group of that directory owner and like wise.

fs_cleanacl
FS_CLEANACL(1) AFS Command Reference FS_CLEANACL(1)
NAME
fs_cleanacl - Remove obsolete entries from an ACL
SYNOPSIS
fs cleanacl [-path <dir/file path>+] [-help]
fs cl [-p <dir/file path>+] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs cleanacl command removes from the access control list (ACL) of each specified directory or file any entry that refers to a user or
group that no longer has a Protection Database entry. Such an entry appears on the ACL as an AFS user ID number (UID) rather than a name,
because without a Protection Database entry, the File Server cannot translate the UID into a name.
Cleaning access control lists in this way not only keeps them from becoming crowded with irrelevant information, but also prevents the new
possessor of a recycled AFS UID from obtaining access intended for the former possessor of the AFS UID. (Note that recycling UIDs is not
recommended in any case.)
OPTIONS
-path <dir/file path>+
Names each directory for which to clean the ACL (specifying a filename cleans its directory's ACL). If this argument is omitted, the
current working directory's ACL is cleaned.
Specify the read/write path to each directory, to avoid the failure that results from attempting to change a read-only volume. By
convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example,
/afs/.abc.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs mkmount
reference page.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
If there are no obsolete entries on the ACL, the following message appears:
Access list for <path> is fine.
Otherwise, the output reports the resulting state of the ACL, following the header
Access list for <path> is now
At the same time, the following error message appears for each file in the cleaned directories:
fs: '<filename>': Not a directory
EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates the cleaning of the ACLs on the current working directory and two of its subdirectories. Only the second
subdirectory had obsolete entries on it.
% fs cleanacl -path . ./reports ./sources
Access list for . is fine.
Access list for ./reports is fine.
Access list for ./sources is now
Normal rights:
system:authuser rl
pat rlidwka
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must have the "a" (administer) permission on each directory's ACL (or the ACL of each file's parent directory); the directory's
owner and the members of the system:administrators group have the right implicitly, even if it does not appear on the ACL.
