Okay... Have ~/bin/phonebook and I'd like it to be rw- to me, r-- to jarka and mj, and --- to everyone else. How do I do that without ACLs? Adding a group is root-only operation.
This seems like a pretty common situation to me, and current solutions are not nice. [I guess ~/bin/ with --x and ~/bin/my-secret-password-only-jarka-and-mj-knows/phonebook would solve the problem, but...!] Pavel -- When do you have heart between your knees? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
