Let us say you have been hired at QRS Ltd. as their Linux system administrator. The company is now involved in three projects and is organized as follows:

..........................Project 1.....Project 2..........Project 3
Team Leaders....J.Smith........W.Li.................M.Khan
Secretaries........P.Marshall...T.Williams.........S.Suther
Members............P.Leif..........P.Pannali..........J.Collins

The requirements are as follows:

1. Each user must have his/her own account and private storage area for files.
2. Each project must have a storage location for collaborative work.
3. All project leaders must be able to share files in a common location.
4. There must be a central repository for files that secretaries can post to.
5. All project leaders must have the ability to add users to the system as demand dictates.
6. All team member's acccounts must expire at the end of the year.

How would you set up this scenario?

groupadd p2 -g 102
groupadd p3 -g 103

# create users for project 1
useradd jsp1 -u 110 -g 101 -d /home/jsp1 -s /bin/bash # -u for userID, -g for groupID, -d for the home dir, & -s for login shell, same to the other
useradd pmp1 -u 111 -g 101 -d /home/pmp1 -s /bin/bash
useradd ltp1 -u 112 -g 101 -d /home/ltp1 -s /bin/bash
useradd plp1 -u 113 -g 101 -d /home/plp1 -s /bin/bash

# create users for project 2

Hi...

Follow all the steps and then post the problems. we can work on that
siddiqu.T

How do I solve the problem of having the groups able to share information and allow the users in each group to have a group area.

some sort of version control possibly? www.cvshome.org/

I am trying to do this by strictly using the command prompt, so if anyone has further suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
