Access control List

[Osama88]

Hi all,

I have need to have a more complex permissioning for my UNIX directories than the normal Read-Write-Execute type found in all UNIX.

The goal to the achieve permissioning similar to WinNT. Where I can assigned more than 1 group to a directory.

Thanks and best regards

Check the usage of the command "chacl" . It proviedes you with the facility to have access control database for each file or directory.

see the manpages of chacl.

Hi,
Here is a n example of chacl usage:

chacl "dupa.%+r, %@-w" file1 file2

This command grants access for user dupa in any group and removes write access for any user in the file's groups for files file1 and file2.

If you are going to do this on a Vxfs file system ,you need to have the latest version, minimum 3.3 of JFS, an dthe new commands for ACL support are setacl and getacl.
The chacl commands are only for HFS file systems.
