Re: Granting some root permissions to certain users

A. o de Weegh,
We use a kernel patch called trustees to do just what you're talking
about. Unfortunately the patch hasn't really been kept up-to-date. I
wish something *like* this could be included in the standard kernel, but
I guess I understand why it's not also.
Here's a link to trustees: http://trustees.sourceforge.net/
You could also use ACLs to give your teachers permissions, but that
tends to take a lot of work imho, but it's what were looking at to
replace trustees when I can no longer get it to patch into kernels.
Here's a link to Linux ACL: http://acl.bestbits.at/

Hi all,
At our school, we have a installed Fedora Core 1 on a machine which acts as a
server. Our students may store reports and other products, that they have
created for their lessons, on this machine. Also the teachers have an
account.
I would like the teachers to have list access on ALL directories. Just as the
root user has. I wouldn't like the teachers to have all root permissions, but
they should only be able to list ALL directories available. Viewing only, no
writing.
Any idea how I can achieve this?
Thanx,
Alex
