Title: restrict access to "primary" ?
Post by: Felix on March 03, 2001, 05:25:03 PM

hi folks,
it's me again :-)

theres one more thing which bothers me and i can't find anything in the manual or faq's.

I know how to create users, groups and i-bays. I also found out that if you're using windows clients, the e-smith uses your windows-logon to authenticate the access via file-sharing for your appropiate i-bay.

but how do i restrict or controll access to the "primary" folder which hosts my primary website. up to now everybody in my little LAN can access it ?

thy in advance

felix

Unless you have modified your system, everybody has restriced read-only access.  Only the admin user has write access.

If you have tinkered with the permissions on primary, untinker it by logging in through telnet as root:  
root@root#  cd /home/e-smith/files
root@files# chmod 755 -R primary

that'll change your permissions back to rwx(root or admin)r-xr-x(for everyone else)

Cheers
