Topic: ibay access by different groups

[laurie_lewis]

Hi all,

I underestand how to create and the access rights to an ibay when you set them up (I think anyway). what I am now faced with is that I need three (3) different group rights in relation to an ibay.

Group 1 - Read and Write
Group 2 - Read only
Group 3 - no access

Can anyone tell me how to do this or if it is possible?  I was thinking of setting up a symbolic link from another ibay to the original ibay for those that I want to read it whilst leaving the original ibay with write rights only - if you can understand what I just wrote.

Is there a more elegant way of doing what I am after?

It seems like this can be done with the method described here: http://no.longer.valid/mylinks/visit.php?cid=62&lid=480

It's not possible with standard linux permissions. Those permissions only exist for owner, group and everyone. There's only one group owner, not separate read group and write group.
Google for "posix ACL" - I think that's what you want, but I don't expect to see widespread support for it any time soon.
