multiple owners of a directory

[TMcB]

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding directory permissions.

I have a directory with the following permissions. :
drwxr-xr-x 3 Manager Develop 9216 Apr 10 15:02 bin

Only the Manager account can write into the directory, and the other users who are in the same group have read / execute.

Now, however, we would like 3 individual accounts to have write permissions, while all other users have read/execute.

I know this is possible in VMS using ACLs, but how do I acheive this in HPUX?

Thanks

Shalom TMcB,

ACL is supported on HP-UX.

You do it exactly the same way on HP-UX.

Hi,

another way to achieve this is to create a group for the 3 individuals you want to grant write access to, and assign them the group.
=> man group,

HTH,
