[GLLUG] Linux File System

[Melson, Paul]

If User1 logs back in, can he delete/modify the file in foo2, or can
nobody delete the file through the ftp server?  If this is proftpd,
check your proftpd.conf file for a <Limit WRITE> tag.

Hope that helps!

I have a question about ftp, the Linux File system, and file
permissions.

I have one directory that has is below a directory owned by root and
group 
root.  A sub directory of this directory is foo, it owned by user1 and
group 
bar with permissions rwxrwxrx.  Lastly foo2 is a subdirectory of foo,
owned 
by user2, group is bar permissions rwxrwxrx.

>From what I noticed if user1 puts files into the foo2 directory, then if

user2 tries to delete, rename or overwrite these files then there are
access 
errors.

Is this because the foo directory is above the foo2 directory, or is it 
because user1 owns the file?

User1 and User2 belong to the bar group, so do I have to chown all the
newly 
placed files so that they are owned by User2, or should group membership
be 
enough to permit User2 access to the files that User1 placed in this
User2's 
directory?

What could be wrong?


Thanks,

Lee D.
