Bryan, I read through your blog on ACL's and the syntax and options that are available. I am interested in possibly looking at configuring the network this way. I noticed the you indicate that this method may have any impact speed. How much? Anyway below if have posted my current fstab from my server. I assume that you are talking about the server fstab file here in blog. *# /etc/fstab: static file system information.* *#* *# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier* *# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name* *# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).* *#* *# * *proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0* *# / was on /dev/md1 during installation* *UUID=1be74d54-38f8-4011-ad19-2c88b7fe8537 / ext4 > errors=remount-ro 0 1* *# swap was on /dev/md0 during installation* *UUID=e2dcb3ae-c9dc-4332-beb2-9370394e4f10 none swap sw > 0 0* */dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0* The directories that I have created on the (I believe /dev/md1 ) are right off of the root directory and are: */av* (for audio visual) */business* (home business files) */wedev* (web development project directories) */home/user# Individual user home directories setup with user account.* I had also created the following group names: *av* *business* *webdev* I have 6 users and plan on a guest user account user1; system admin rwx access to all directories user2; rwx access to /home, /av, and /business users3-6; rwx access to /home/user#'s, and /av guest; rw access to /home/guest, and /av Preferably each user would/could have an account on any of the desktops or laptops (This would act like a windows server user profile account, accessible from any computer). Let me know what you think, Thanks.
