Is there a way to restrict a user (owner) to execute scripts from a specific directory
Hello,

I have a user Bob on a RHEL 7 server1. Where his script area is "/home/Bob/scripts/" and he is the owner for this directory.
On the server1, there is a NFS mount from another server2, with path as "/global/work/" and Bob is the owner for this directory too in server2. (Same UID and GID on both servers).

Now per policy, the "/global/work/" in Server1 is only for reference purpose, but should NOT execute any scripts from here. Because those are suppose to execute from Server2 only.



So how can I restrict, Bob, the owner of both, not to run any shell script from "/global/work" from server1, but allow him to do all other work as normal.


PS: I have access to edit his profile files.


Thanks!

locktest

LOCKTEST(1)							    Test Suite							       LOCKTEST(1)

NAME

       locktest - Find differences in locking between two SMB servers

SYNOPSIS

       locktest {//server1/share1} {//server2/share2} [-U user%pass] [-U user%pass] [-s seed] [-o numops] [-a] [-O] [-E] [-Z] [-R range] [-B base]
		[-M min]

DESCRIPTION

       locktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour in locking between SMB servers. It will run a random set of locking operations
       against //server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2 and display the differences in the responses it gets.

       This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.

OPTIONS

       -U user%pass
	   Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter can be specified twice (once for the first server,
	   once for the second).

       -s seed
	   Seed the random number generator with the specified value.

       -o numops
	   Set the number of operations to perform.

       -a
	   Print the operations that are performed.

       -A
	   Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ.

       -O
	   Enable oplocks.

       -u
	   Hide unlock fails.

       -E
	   enable exact error code checking

       -Z
	   enable the zero/zero lock

       -R range
	   set lock range

       -B base
	   set lock base

       -M min
	   set min lock length

       -k
	   Use kerberos
