    Post Debian Permissions Help

    Hi Linux Engineers

    as we know in windows xp drive and folder permissions, we perform (folder-right click-properties-security tab-we check, group or user and assign ALLOW or DENY access to the folders)

    In the same way i want to DENY access to my windows driver sda1 & sda2 from the Debian OS. my system is being used by 3 users: user1, user2 & user3. All can access to all Volumes, so I want to Deny the users 2 & 3 from accessing my windows driver and folders. BUT i alone user 1 should have permission to access them.

    How do i change that in Debian 5.5? Allow/Deny Permissions to Volumes ! Please tell me the steps !

    Thanks

    I think I would set the permissions in /etc/fstab. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Just disallow all access to those partitions.
    fstab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Also see the man pages on your system by issuing the following command in a terminal window.
    Code:
    man fstab
    If you need further help, don't be afraid to ask.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.
