Permissions and access to data
Hi
Operating system Red Hat Enterprise 5.8, Data access Mac/PC environment on various OS levels. Access via smb
I am trying to set up a data shared area where a user group can read and write to its own directory, but can only write to another groups directory.
Example:
I have set up two volumes where the the owner/group can r/w/x but others can only write.
drwxrwx-wx 4 root group1 131072 Jun 7 13:21 STUDIO1
drwxrwx-wx 4 root group2 131072 Jun 7 13:21 STUDIO2
This seems to work but i am getting varying results from different "OS"
From OSX 10.7 i am getting the desired effect.
When logged in as group1 i can read and write to the Volume STUDIO1 and only write to STUDIO2. I also get prompted if a file of the same name already exists in volume STUDIO2, thus giving me the option to confirm a overwrite or not.
But this does not work the same way on various PC "OS" or on some mac "OS"
Questions i have is A: have i set up correctly. And B: is there a better way of setting up to get a more constant result across all the "OS"
thanks
Treds
