[NTLUG:Discuss] Permissions

[victor@vail.net]

That's kind of easy to do though. If all the students have their home
directories in /home (and assuming the students already own their own
directories...which they should), just do this:

log in as root.
cd /home
chgrp teachers *
chmod 770 *

Wham-o, you're done :) If your home dir situation is different though, write
back and I'd be glad to knock out a script for you to do this.

Thought for the day --
Homer:  Well, the evening began at the Gentleman's 
        Club, where we were discussing Wittgenstein
        over a game of backgammon.
Scully: Mr. Simpson, it's a felony to lie to the FBI.
Homer:  We were sitting in Barney's car eating 
        packets of mustard.  Ya happy?
