HP UX printer setting and Folder permission setting

[sprakash1980]

HI,need help on below :
1. Add printer at HP UNIX server (about the printer driver support matrix which existing printer support HP UX)

2. How to create folder in UNIX server and set the permission for only certain user can access to the folder.

[Bill Hassell]

1. Need a lot more information:

...HP-UX version
...connection method from HP-UX to the printer
...printer manufacturer and model number

2. Folders are found on Windows computers. HP-UX uses the terminology: directories. You create a directory with mkdir. However, you'll need to clarify "access" to the folder. Do you want to restrict other users from seeing the names of the files in the folder, or see the file names but not read the files, or see and read the files but not write (make changes) to the files?

You will get most HP printer's model script from here.

Most printers are currently supporting port 9100, which is generally Jetdirect card port. Those printers which supports 9100 ports, can be created as network printer.

The simplest way is to create the directory and change the ownership to that user:
mkdir -m u=rwx directory-name
chown user-name:group-name directory-name

Hi

I´ve got a similar query: I want to give a non-root user full rights to an existing directory, i.e. being able to read, write,and execute files within that directory, even if he does not own the files! Can that be possible?

This user must be given the permissions on the files, either through g, o or through ACLs.

Dennis!

I did put this user as a member of a group that owns the file. But he cannot execute the files, only allows him to change, read and write.
I have never used ACLs, please can you explain?

Then you need to do: chmod g+x file

>I have never used ACLs, please can you explain?

It allows you to have more than just User, Group and Other security. See setacl(1).

Hi

But there are thousands of files in there!!

Do I have to do that one by one?
