Hi!

I need to create a share that will be readoble by root only (by owner) and
writeable for all. We replacing a dead Windows NT 4.0 server and there was a
permission type called "Add" and our users uses this type of permission
often. They creates a shares where other users can add files but can not
read or even list it. I saw a thread here called "How to make "Add
permission" for folder in system withntacl
support?<http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20071031.173732.50cc2cef.en.html>"
but there was no solution published. I beleive that there is a solution, I
hope so.

So how to create a share where all users will be able to paste their file
but only accepted users will be able to list the files or read it? For
example:

user userA is the owner
user Guest is a someone else
server path - \\server <file://server/>
share path \\server\userAdoor <file://server/userAdoor>

user Guest should be able to open a \\server <file://server/> and simply to
drag'n'drop a file into the userAdoor share
or user Guest should be able to select some file somewhere in his
filesystem, go to \\server <file://server/>, select userAdoor, press right
button and paste the file.

of course user Guest should not be able to see the
\\server\userAdoor<file://server/userAdoor>content.


Thanks in advance,
Ash.
