Yes, as Barry said, use ACL for giving permission for group agents. The permission must be 770 and the group associated to /home/pub must be administrator. Then give acl rx (setfacl -m g:agent:rx /home/pub) to /home/pub. This should solve the issue. Make sure your filesystem is mounted with ACL support.

The thing is: I can't seem to formulate my problem in terms of user/group/others, as there are no owners, but two distinct groups involved.
Any idea how to crack that nut?
Have you looked at using ACLs? Just make sure that any backup software you use can handle them. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
