Hi
I need to setup an account on my server for 3 students so that they can have
access to executables and scripts for processing daily GPS observations. Since
I want only 1 copy of these exe/scripts, I am thinking about setting them up
in /usr/local/share/gpsprog dir and I want to set the s-bit on the group, so
that I have
rxwrws--- /usr/local/share/gpsprog
Now if one of the students modify a script, the others should have access to
this dir. I think I should set something similar to umask for these persons.
How can I do that?
Set the umask to 002, instead of the default 022. You can do this in
each user's .bashrc.
I would recommend setting up each user with a separate username and
separate home directory. You can put each user in your shared group
which is the group owner of the /usr/local/share/gpdprog directory.
That way each user can use their own username and password, but still
have shared write access to the common directory. For convenience you
can set up a symlink to the shared folder in their home directory.
