Only problem now is creating a cron for every teachers drop folder. How would I write a cron that will run on /home/Drop and look at the owner of folder TeacherX and automatically recursively set any files under that folder with the owner of the enclosing folder? Does that make sense? That way if Teacher1 is owned by user Teacher1 the cron will figure that out and substitute this in, or if Teacher2 is owned by Teacher2, you get the point. Can one enter a variable for owner? Or do I just have to buck-up and write one for every teacher drop created?</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> k12osn-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:k12osn-bounces@redhat.com] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Huck<BR><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, April 29, 2004 12:11 PM<BR><B>To:</B> 'Support list for opensource software in schools.'<BR><B>Subject:</B> RE: [K12OSN] Hopefully the last permission question<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=670071017-29042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>think you'd be looking at a cron solution there?</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=670071017-29042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>something run'n every hour to automagically chown and chgrp?</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=670071017-29042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=670071017-29042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>--Huck</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=670071017-29042004></SPAN> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> k12osn-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:k12osn-bounces@redhat.com] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Jim Kronebusch<BR><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, April 29, 2004 9:26 AM<BR><B>To:</B> k12osn@redhat.com<BR><B>Subject:</B> [K12OSN] Hopefully the last permission question<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=718032216-29042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last problem I seem to be having is that when a student drops homework into /home/drop/teacher1/class1 folder which is owned by teacher1 and group teacher1 with Set Uid and Gid checked, the file the student drops is still owned by the student. I would like the user and group set to teacher1. The reason being that if the student still owns the file the teacher cannot delete it, and it messes with the students user quota. Once in the drop folder it is the teachers responsibility to remove the file and no longer the students, so I believe these files should affect teacher quotas not the student. So how do I set any file dropped in this folder to reset the owner and group to that of the enclosing folder? I would like to not have a script option, but something via chmod or whatever is immediate.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=718032216-29042004><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=718032216-29042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
