mho Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hello. I would be very happy if someone out there, could explain how the permissions on groups/users in linux works. My little problem is: I have my ftp system, which creates a directory when a new user logs in. Etc. User test logs into my ftp - my script will make a home directory for the user test. This is done by the 'ftp' group/user on my Debian Etch. But when the user test dosen't wan't space on my ftp - I have a little script, that cleares the database for user test and removes the directory (empty or not), but the home directory is still there. Etc. /home/test I'd tried both rmdir and exec(rm -r -f path) - but it seems like my script on apache webserver dosen't have access to delete dirs in group/user ftp. My thing is now, that everytime I run the script - nothing happens. Like the apache group dosen't have access to the ftp group. I tried google it, but without any results Please help me figure out this mess. Have a nice day. (yes, I suck at explaining this issue proberly .. english is not my best -) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
