Subject: [9fans] group ownership for shared devices
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 22:44:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.00.0911092236430.42237@legolas.yyc.orthanc.ca> (raw)
I have a CPU server running as 'glenda' that has a DVD drive. I want to
make that DVD drive available to various terminals on the network. But I
don't want to put the terminal users into glenda's group. The obvious
solution seemed to be to set up a 'commondevs' group, add glenda and the
allowed device users to it, then have the CPU server 'chgrp commondevs
/dev/...' but no joy there. There's got to be something stunningly simple
here that I'm missing ...
