Hii,,

there is a question i would like to discuss with everyone,,

i have been asked to make 2 directories,,

1. /data/linux
2. /data/windows

and asked to make 2 groups i.e linux and windows

****Linux group ****

john and mary are the members of this group

***windows group ****

ann and sue r the momebers of this group

Q:: members of similar group should only be able to access their corressponding group dir in /data,,

Q;; MOreover i need to enable group quota for { linux and windows } on /data....

and ****

enable user quota tooo for ann,sue,john,mary

QQQQQQQQ:::

Does tht mean i shud have my database files(aquota.usr aquota.grp) in /data,,,

Sim

ps. i guess i have been asked to be confused with linux and windows directory!!

or do i need to create separate partions for separate groups??

You would enable quota's for the /data directory or partition and chown each directory to set permissions, ownerships, etc. Is this a homework type question?

yes it is...

but what i have to do with linux and windows directory,,,

My group quotas and userquotas are working fine without touching those directories,,,

why i have been said to make /data/linux and /data/windows ,,, when i dnt touch those directories at all,,, they r just there as a usual directory,,,(of no use,,or i can delete them too)

Q.. why do i need these directories??

Appreciate ur reply

Sim
