HI gurus

I Have the following situation.

ls -al /xpt/data
drwxr-xr-x 14 ixn teste 512 Mar 27 10:13 /xpt/data

ls -ald /xpt
drwxrwxr-x 19 ixn teste 1024 Apr 8 12:56 /xpt

I can't change the owner or group of the directorys.
And i need to create a user that have only permissions to read and execute teh directory /xpt/data. He can't see anything else

Can you have any idea.
Any help would be aprecieted.

Regards
Angelo Sousa.

You could use ACLs to allow him access:

Hi Angelo

>>...... I can't change the owner or group of the directorys

From which user you want to change the permissions of the directories?

If you are not member of that goup or superuser you can't mpodify the permissions.

>>And i need to create a user that have only permissions to read and execute teh directory /xpt/data

try with ACL

Hi,
your question is little bit confusing.

already the directrory /xpt/data have permission for any other user can read and execute.

drwxr-xr-x 14 ixn teste 512 Mar 27 10:13 /xpt/data

So, which thing you want post clearly.

Thanks & Regards

My problem is that i wan't that the user can only access and see only the directory and sub-directorys /xpt/data/*.

I already solve my problem, I configure a ftp group in file /etc/ftpd/ftpacess and a user that belong to that especifique group.

The user acount should be something like this:

guest1:x:100:92:Guest FTP:/export/home/guests/./guest1:/bin/true

Thanks for the posts.
