Hmm, do you have an idea how to deal with an anonFTP like incoming
directory, too? This dir is direct accessible and (the big problem) the guy
to sort all this stuff will (hopefully) never get root.
I made a "diaradm" group and added this guy to it. Then made the dir sgid
diradm. "guy" has to cp things to its new location to change owner.
drawbacks
- luser xyz does "chgrp xyz subdir" and "guy" is locked out :-(
- cp may have some problems when space becomes limited and its SLOW
compared to a mv (on the same partition)
Do I need to write somethind suid root which guy can run (like "chown -R guy
dir" )?
