Here is what I have:
off of the /home/ dir I have created sub dirs for each of the classes,
then inside those the home dirs for the individuals in the class. For
instance:
/home/compsci/user1
/home/compsci/user2
/home/compsci/user3
Now this worked for me last year, and as equiv to root I could go into
each folder to mark. But it took some time to go into each folder
individually, looking for assignments
Here is what I would like:
directory structure like so
/homework/compsci
/homework/saps
/homework/7a
one directory for each class, but no individual user folders inside.
I want to give the kids responsibility to "hand-in" their assignments
into the appropriate folders. BUT:
I don't want other classes to be able to mess with their files. so
compsci kids can't mess with saps files, etc. But I wanted to take it
further and say that the compsci kids could hand in their finished work
into the /homework/compsci folder, but not delete or change the file
once it is there
in other words I want the class homework folders to have write once
access/no read access/and no delete access. So they can save/drop the
file into the directory, but not change it or delete it once there
So after that long preamble, what rights do I set on a folder to
acomplish this? You should know that each class has a distinct gid so I
can set rights using that, I think
I am thinking, if the rights can be set like I want, that users can drag
their completed assignments into the appropriate homework "dropbox" and
they are done, and can't cheat off of, or trash, other classmate's files
advise greatly appreciated
