One approach is to have group ownership of a pupils folder set to the Teacher's group and use the SetGID options on ext3 and create mask functions in Samba to ensure that files and directories are created with
permissions to allow the teacher's group access. You could also allow write access in the same manner.
You have to be _extremely_ careful with g+s settings. Note that if we are talking $HOME; having that top-level directory sGID is not something you should do. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
