I have a computer lab setup where I have a partition where students can save documents that will survive the nightly re-imaging. However, by default the partition has rw permissions for root only. How is the preferred way, or where is the best place, to set the permissions for that partition?

Thanks,

As part of your nightly re-imaging, can you add a final script that does a chmod on that partition to a mask of 777? A single line of code could solve that.

Sounds like a job for ACLs

Well, that's what I was going to do. I was just wondering if there was a different "casper-approved" way to do this.

Thanks,
