permission query

himacs — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:05:11 GMT

Hi Admins,

I want to provide 777 permission for a particular user for all the files under /data.
Actually all the files are owned by oracle:dba.

To achieve this i think to set a cron entry ..

* * * * * /usr/bin/setacl user:flexuat:rwx /flexdb02/atmrecon/*

will it work?

regards
himacs

HI

Looks good. What is the error message? 'setacl' may conflict with setgid.

setgid will cause any new files to inheirit the owner and group of the file

umask on the owner and set in the owner's .profile file with set permissions to the same level for all files written/created, not just one dir.

And, as mentioned above, setacl

setacl -m user:nrallis:rwx /dir/*

Yes Admins,

I missed to mention -m with setacl in the thread.

cronjob running fine..and user can access all the existing and newly created files.
