I have a f9 system at home and it is used by me, wife and kids.
Sometimes we want to share files docs, pictures and stuff. Here are my
plans,
1. mkdir /fileshare
2. create "share" group
3. add all users this group
4. chmod -R ug+rwx /fileshare
5. chown -R root:share /fileshare
6. for each user, rm -rf /home/<user>/Public
7. for each user, ln -s /fileshare /home/<user>/Public
Whatever they copy to their Public directory, it will be visible by all.
Will this work? Is there a better idea?
In addition to your chmod -R ug+rwx /fileshare command, how about you make
the group permissions "stick" to newly created files and directories inside
/fileshare?
chmod g+s /fileshare
Note that all users in the share group can then create/modify/delete all
files and directories in /fileshare
Note that you are allowing the users to delete the directory /fileshare/
itself as well...
Thanks for all the tips! How do I prevent someone from deleting /fileshare?
I made a mistake, to delete /fileshare you need permissions on /, not
/fileshare itself.
Kind regards,
Jeroen
