Sounds like they need to set up a virtual host tied to a login address - eg create a user, add content to user's public_html directory and make that ~newuser/public_html/ directory be the document root for the virtual host web site. Give those 3 users write access to that public_html directory, probably by making a unique group for it, making it group writable and world readable and put those users in that group. Playing around with ACLs would be more interesting for it. ////jerry > > -- > Mel > > Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules > and never get to the software part. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
