Re: Permission problem

Yes, as Barry said, use ACL for giving permission for group agents. The permission must be 770 and the group associated to /home/pub must be administrator. Then give acl rx (setfacl -m g:agent:rx /home/pub) to /home/pub. This should solve the issue. Make sure your filesystem is mounted with ACL support.

Have you looked at using ACLs?  Just make sure that any backup software
you use can handle them.
