All,
I tried to click discussion on Fajar's page and put this there, but it did not seem to work. Surely there is a way to discuss a new howto without having to do it here?
Hello Greg, I guess it's better if we put the howto into the root directory? Because I notice when we 'search' for article, User's talk is not included by default. So I have put it in http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_share_directories_between_groups_of_users_usin... with all the latest updates, please edit it if you find anything missing.
===> Howto issues I tested the concepts in the write-up using existing users.
On an XFS volume it works. On ext3 by default, it does not (ie. ACLs not supported).
Per an old suse 8.1 article it needs to be enabled for ext3. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:POSIX_Access_Control_List_%28ACL%29_Support
On Opensuse10.2 I notice that ACL support is enabled by default in the /etc/fstab: /dev/sda2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sda3 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
I added a first step that says to enable ACLs and points to the above. Likely that needs fleshing out.
I added the example of the content of /etc/fstab to check whether ACL is enabled.
Also, it looks like that ACL article may need an update to something written in the last couple years.
Good idea. It will give good impression too to the new users. Thanks. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 6:59am up 0:40, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
