Is this possible with unix permissions ? X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 19:49:23 -0000 Hello, I have a user whose home directory I would like to make "append only". That is to say, they cannot delete files, or delete information from files, but they _can_ create new files or append information to existing files. Or, if that is not possible, at the very least I wouldlike the ability to create new files, while not being allowed to delete any files. Is this possible with unix permissions ? Is it possible in the freebsd filesystem in any way at all ? If not, any suggestions ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Expecting?
