My solution to this would be to give all of the user the same group and then chgrp -R <users_groupname> <directoryname> the base directory. Depending on how the users have access to said filename you could also chroot them into that directory. Just my two cents though I am sure there is a better way. -Douglas -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nick Kishfy Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 9:43 AM To: Redhat General List I am creating a somewhat complex directory structure for my company and I want the users to be able to create and delete files inside the entire directory structure but I don't want them to be able to create or delete directories anywhere. Can that be done?
