I'm running Sarge and have two 250 gb drives. One has my system installed on it, the other is mounted as /backup. I intended to use /backup to...well...back things up :) How do I grant certain users access to /backup? Right now it's only accessible to the root user. I've read through a few man-pages, and I get the impression that I need to add the users to the directory's group....but I'm not sure how to do that. Any thoughts?
Hmmm.... I'm doing this by head, plese give it a little "brain power" if these instructions are not 100% accurate.
I think it sufices: 1 - create group "backup_users" # groupadd backup_users 2 - put wanted user in group, by editing /etc/group ... backup_users:x:34:user1,user23,user64 ... 3 - give permissions to directory chown -R root.backup_users /backup chmod -R 660 /backupActually, there is already a "backup" group in the system, but I dunno exctly if it's already there for some specific purpose or not...
Good luck! Joao Clemente
