Folder shares over NFSv4 private to user groups

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I want to share a folder over NFSv4, available to some users, and I'm having permission issues. I set up the folder permissions with setGID so new files are created with the folder group owner. But users are free to create files without permissions to the group (In fact, default users UMASK is 700, so this happens all the time). I ended up trying to apply this solution using ACLs to enforce directory umask. I did, but it didn't work as expected. I read on the NFS wiki that regular ACLs won't work over NFSv4, and that I need to use nfs4 specific ACL tools. But I'm having some trouble. I tr (HowTos)

NFSv4 - ACLs not working 1 year 11 weeks ago

I've setup an NFSv4 server (Debian) and client (Ubuntu/Mythbuntu). It seems that uid username mapping is working nicely out-of-the-box (I get correct usernames on ls -l if the usernames match between the two boxes, even if the uids don't), but ACLs are not working.

I have a Red Hat 5.8 server that is bound to active directory and users are authenticated via active directory when they log in via sftp. User home folders are created during login using /etc/pam.d/system-auth.

I have been looking at umask for quite some time now, and to some examples, but I am still not sure how to work with this.

Basically what I want is the following.

umask and groups 38 weeks 2 days ago

Hi

I see that I can use umask to set the default permissions on files created by a script like so -

Code: umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o= So that would grant rwx to the user and group.

I have a shared EXT4 drive with 777 permissions for all users to use. Problem is :

When a user creates a new folder / file, it gets 644. I guess that is because of the umask for that user.

Now, I want to have all the new content with 777.

umask seems to vary by user 25 weeks 1 day ago

I've got a development Ubuntu system for which I have several users: myself (with full sudo) and about 5 other users. (I've set up the system so everything in this respect is still at its default setting)

I'm trying to set the system up so that multiple people can collaborate in a single directory by using grouing and I want the default permissions to be 664.

You can create a group for all the users (if it does not exist yet), set all the directories in the download tree to this group and setgid bit set (eg: 2770 permissions). Alternatively, set ACLs an... [by gulikoza]
