Hi,

If as you are giving read write permission to all,its difficult to achieve what you are trying,but if directories in your example directory are /app are written by a single user like root,then by using sticky bit you can prevent users by deleting the contents.

For example if you set sticky bit on /app using

Now the user who creates files or directories in it will only be able to delete.

hello sir apprecaite your support fast

my concern is little

say if admin or root want to delete he can do it.

but users who connect via samba shares let say single userid testsambauser, so if he want he cant delete.

there are executables oracle forms 6i, that need read, execute and write( some cache files). by writing user cant change any files.

advise further.

on samba share what change we do need to do. it is single user, single share samab conf file

kind regards

Hi,

Told you that only the one who creates will only be able to delete the files.

testsambauser will not able to delete files created by other users.

Study about sticky bit.Use google.
