Set ACL automatically for new folder/objects
Hi,

In our bank production environment - IBM AIX 5.3, we have a particular parent folder inside which an application creates temporary folders & files. These temp folders exist for the lifetime of the user session within the application and then get deleted automatically.

Since these temp folders contain business data, the default permissions is set to 700.

However, frequent 100% utilization of the parent folder now requires me as an application administrator to run usage scripts for housekeeping & information purposes.

The problem: I cannot review usage of the temp folders (due to 700) default setting. We cannot run such scripts via root as per our system admin policies.

What can be done for this ?

Is there anyway to set a default ACL for each new folder/file that gets created and allow access to my application admin user ID ? At least it will allow me to run ls -lR or du command successfully in such cases.

Any help is welcome.

Sample ls output of the application folder:

Code:
 
ls -l /application/saswork

Code:

drwx------ 3 psath118 sasthusr 4096 Jul 13 16:04 SAS_work00D40014C012_saixp82
drwx------ 3 psath054 sasthusr 256 Jul 13 14:17 SAS_work01B3001720A0_saixp82

drwx------ 3 psath043 sasthusr 256 Jul 12 12:28 SAS_work063B0014108E_saixp82
drwx------ 3 psath118 sasthusr 256 Jul 13 16:06 SAS_work06AE000CA08E_saixp82
drwx------ 3 psath007 sasthusr 256 Jul 13 16:05 SAS_work0A790014A080_saixp82

NEW(1)                                                               [nmh-1.5]                                                              NEW(1)

NAME

       new - report on folders with new messages

       fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages

       fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages

       unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages

SYNOPSIS

       new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]

       fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext

       fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev

       unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen

DESCRIPTION

       New  in  its  default  mode  produces  a  one-line-per-folder  listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
       sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence".  Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the  desired  sequences,
       and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file.  For example:

            foo     11.* 40-50
            bar    380.  760-772 824-828
             total    391.

       The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder.  The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.

       New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order.  Override this behavior by provid-
       ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.

       In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.

       In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile          The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:                To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:      To find the default current folder
       Unseen-Sequence:     The name of the unseen message sequence

SEE ALSO
