Greetings,
Is there any information on the standard default SUSE groups and what purpose they serve? Also any information on what special rights or file rights this may give the group.
For example CDROM. What purpose is this group? FTP? WWW?
Thanks in advance,
-- Doug
Doug, What CDROM, FTP, WWW, floppy, have in common is these are "services" that you as the Administatrator might want to restrict, or not... Take CDROM, on your "firewall" machine, you may want it to be root only who can mount a CDROM. This might it harder for some one to come up to the machine, pop in a CDROM and install something."bad". My example may be weak, but you get the idea. They are not groups like: Sales, Marketing, Developers, Quality, Engineers, HR, Accounting, Legal.... or "Users" But you may say Sales and Marketing could use the WWW (ie World Wide Web), but only from 10 AM to 4:00 PM. Whereas only Managers and Legal can use the CDROM, And Engineers can use the "floppy", And like that... Hope this helps, Friendly greetings, Gar -- In the Beginning was the Command Line ---Neal Stephenson -- __________________________________________________________________ New!
