- Is it possible to prevent a user from being able to
- change the protection on a directory that he owns?
-
- E.G. We have USER$DISK:[000000]USER1.DIR with S:RWE,O:RWE,G:RE,W:RE
- And what I want to -prevent- the user from changing
- his directory to say W:RWE which he might do to allow other users
- to copy files into his directory for him.
-
- We want to prevent that because we don't want users to come running
- to us when they suddenly have files in their directory that the
- cannot delete.
-
- One partial solution is:
-
- $ SET ACL/ACL=(IDENT=*,ACCESS=READ+EXECUTE) USER$DISK:[000000]USER1.DIR
-
- It doesnt prevent the user from changing the UIC protection of his
- directory, but it does prevent IDENT=* from being able to WRITE into
- the directory anyway.
-
- Until the USER1 in question figures out how to SET ACL himself.
- By which time he should know better.
