Permissions

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi!

chown    .contract   /path/to/share/
chown -R .contract   /path/to/share/quite_open_files/
chown -R .validgroup /path/to/share/all_my_secrets/

So only validgroup is able to acces the folder all_my_secrets. Make all
members of validgroup to be members of contract, too, and they will have
access to folders of validgroups as well as contract.

You might do this with acls, but unix permissions are ok for this task.

CU, Lars.
