hi,

i have some folders in my /opt directory, i have to give to my Audit group a permission to be able to read every folder inside my /opt directory.

i have inside my /opt an directories for each department (audit, developers and so on) and only a member of the developers group can get inside /opt/developers/, but how to assign the audit group permission to read every directory inside /opt.

i prefer to assign the permisstion on the /opt directory, and not on every directory inside /opt.

Thanks.

Hi,

you can use ACL to give the specific Audit group an rx access to the /opt recursively.

# setfacl -R -m g:audit:rx /opt

can i do it without ACL ?
i prefer to do it with the setgid setuid.
Thanks.
