Hi

we are not allowed to have 775 with/without ACL's

As i said i want to have user2 create/delete files in user1 ownership (logs). I want to achieve this with ACL's since 775 is not allowed.

Since i see people tried to help/advice me but looks like we dont have options to do that. so I decided to stop troubling folks rather asking more questions.

I just want to keep myself silent since this cannot be achieved.

To re-iterate this is what i need.

$ cd /opt/euser
$ ls -ld logs
drwxr-xr-x 2 euser grpi 4096 Sep 21 00:17 logs
$ setfacl -m u:euser:rwx,m::rwx logs
$ ls -ld logs
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 euser grpi 4096 Sep 21 00:17 logs

But this is violation as per our protocal so all we need is
$ ###execute some setfacl command to get my task acomplished.
$ ls -ld logs
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 euser grpi 4096 Sep 21 00:17 logs

---When i login as guser i should be able to cd to logs and touch files there. this is what i need. End of the day ls/find should show 755 it should never show 775

I would follow Smokey_justme counsel and instructions.

Is it the security protocol that your company or employer has established that's being presented to you that is restricting what your trying to do? (not allow to use 775)

Sorry that your company won't allow 775-

One of our Guru's John VV is exceptionally good with Red Hat and other Red Hat based distributions.
I have learned from him.

I will ask him to join in and assist you.

Your Welcome-

I wasn't able to reach our Guru so I wrote to one of our Moderators for assistance.

Besides explaining that the ACL makes the old unix permissions seem like 775 (which the fellows that recommended you this might already know) there's not much you can do...

After re-reading this page Chapter 20.2 Setting Access ACLs and reading all that Smokey_just me has explained; I don't see any other practice in the Red Hat documentation to change or modify than what has already been discussed or implemented.

If there is another way I have not found it as of yet.

https://access.redhat.com/documentat...s-setting.html

Thanks again:Smokey_just me for your help.
The examples you gave helped!
