Topic: Ibay rights - add but not delete

[Charlie]

I have an Ibay that has alot of mp3 music in it. I want anyone to be able to add to it, ie add a play list or more music, but I don't want antone but admin to have delete rights. Can this be done?

Sure, go into your box as root and make the chmod changes to the ibay.

/home/e-smith/files/ibays

chmod xxx name-of-ibay

Do a chmod --help for a list of commands.

Do I acturally type "xxx" or do I type some variable?

you have some variables, you have to check the CHMOD command for the variables and its function... unfortunately i myself dont know anything much about the variables and its function.

Log into the server as root (use admin password) and edit the /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd.conf/ibays file (name might be wrong sorry) you will find four entries called create mode, directory mode, force c m and force d m. change these to be 0444 for the create modes and 02666 for directory modes. Reconfigure your server from the console (su - admin). re-create your ibays and hopefully it will work. If not, try:

man httpd.conf
       and
man chmod (for the list of permission modes)

you can work it out from these.
