AFS HOME DIRECTORY
Users’ home directories reside in AFS: files are physically located inside AFS “volumes” on AFS servers. At CASPUR, every user has a volume of different extent, which is set inside the /afs/caspur.it tree. These volumes look like simple UNIX directories in /afs/caspur.it/user/prefix/username, where prefix is the first letter of the username. For example, the user virginia’s home directory is located in /afs/caspur.it/user/v/virginia.
When a new user is created, the ACL for his home directory is defined in the following way:
username rlidwka
system:anyuser l
This ACL allows the proprietary user to operate inside his home directory and permits to other users to study the structure of it. Moreover, two subdirectories are created, (public and private), which ACLs are respectively:
username rlidwka
system:anyuser rl
and
username rlidwka
This structure allows the proprietary user of the home directory to keep his private files in an inaccessible area and to exchange the public ones with other users. Every user is entitled to create a maximum of 20 protection groups in order to regulate the access to his subdirectories. |
