1817.0. "Group permision confusion / prob ?" by KERNEL::BURNST () Mon Apr 14 1997 08:03

    
    Help!!!!
    Iam I going crazy or is the way that it is supposed to work ?.
    Cust is sharing out a area called GLOBAL. In this area he wants users
    to have only RX permissions. In a sub dir called TRANSFER he wants the
    users to have RWCXD permissions. This can be achieved ok but by doing
    this gives the users the permission to DELETE the SUBDIR TRANSFER. The
    cust wants the users to put the files in there but not be able to delete
    them. The server is a DECUNIX v4.0a running PW v6.1 eco1 with both NT
    and pwdos v6 clients. The only work round to stop the users doing this
    so far is to put a hidden r/o file in the dir so that it cannot be
    deleted. Is this how it is supposed work and cust should spend his time
    on user education or can it be done via permissions.
    
    Share			Share perm		File Perm
    
    GLOBAL			rxwcd			r x
       |                                                
       |_TRANSFER 		rwcxd                   rwcxd
    
    I have tried to do this by just share permissions and by mixing both
    and have not found any combination to get this directory set to be able
    to have users create and del files in it but not delete it.
    
    "SET FILE/PROT=S:RWX,O:RWX,G:RWX,W:RWX TRANSFER.DIR" is the VMS command
    equivalent I am probably looking for. :-)
