Same Directory, Multiple Groups, Multiple Permissions

[vttimwhite]

It all started with a simple question from a Windows Network Admin; I have an accounting package. I want one group to have read-only access, and a second group to have read-write access. Perhaps a third group with write-only access (mostly for the sake of argument). this is easily done in Windows.

But there is only one "group" permission in linux. How can I assign permissions to different groups?

Maybe you could make a couple of sym links to that directory and put the group permissions on those.....

DOn't know if that will work, but it's an idea anyway....
