I have three users in Redhat 6 machine,
tiger gourav sourav User gourav and sourav in brother group.
Now user tiger create a directory tiger_gaurav and want to give read and write permission to only and only gourav user.
When I try to give permission according to group,sourav also gets the permission to access that directory. Please do help me with this.
Using ACL's this can be done (Red Hat - Setting Access ACLs) -
$ setfacl -m u:gourav:rwx,d:u:gourav:rwx,d:u:tiger:rwx,m:rwx path/tiger_gaurav
u:gourav:rwx — grants user gourav read,write, and execute to the directoryd:u:gourav:rwx — sets the default rule that will grant user gourav read,write,execute permission to files created in the directoryd:u:tiger:rwx — sets the default rule that will grant user tiger read,write,execute permission to files created in the directorym:rwx — sets the mask, this value is unioned with the owning group and all other users/groups.That said, creating a group is likely much simpler to maintain in the long run.
Create a group that only the two belong to, and use that as group access. Remember, an account can be a member of many groups.
