I'm setting up a shared directory for java users. I'll make a 'java' group and assign the directory to it with rwx permissions.

Then I noticed a group called staff - what's that for? My own user isn't in it.


Hi there. Saw this message and thought I would give an example using my own setup for this.

I have directories set up in my user directories called public_html. The users on my system can FTP into my Debian box and upload their websites there. So the URL to their pages would be http://bufonline.dyndns.org:83/~username/ However, in order to make this work I had to set the permissions on the public_html folder to username.staff. Once I did that the directories were made available to the world to let my users' websites be seen.

Hmm. Strange because my users aren't in 'staff' group (when i go 'groups'). Is it some sort of default?
