Re: [webmin-l] File; Folder Ownership

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Vern,
Standard unix permissions don't allow a file to have two owners. However, if your filesystem and OS supports ACLs, then use the ACL button in the file manager to grant access to a second (or more) user.

At the moment, ACLs are supported by the Solaris UFS filesystem, and Linux EXT3 with a kernel patch. I'm not sure if this patch is yet a standard part of the kernel.

This may sound like a crazy question but it's never been an issue for me until now.

I was wondering if there is a way to have two owner's of a folder. If I go under the 
file manager and I select the folder and try to add two user names under the owenrship 
bu it will not let me. Is there any other way or is this not possible?

Thanks
