Hi,
if it is a JFS you could use acl (See man setacl) to define edp and the new group as write enabled.
Or you could add the users to the edp group as a secondary group.

Hi,

I agree with Peter, Aceess Control List (ACL)
would be a good solution.

To make this easy, you need to link /etc/logingroup to /etc/group.

Hangyu,

.If I would like to allow another group :
Well , you can use acl for that purpose.
Check this out:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B9106-90007/setacl.1.html


Secendly if you want to allow another user, to access that dir, simply add the use to that group using usermod or sam,

Cheers,
Raj.

Hi

acl would be best fit for your requirement.
Refer the man page of setacl & getacl to get more ideas. If there are existing files and you need to have the same privilege like the new ones after the you set the directory level acl, you need to setacl for those files individually (you can write a small script to automate it)

hai

make the other groups as the secondary group of the owner using usermod -G option.
