[OpenAFS] acl's and directories

[Ron Croonenberg]

Hello all,

I want to create student accounts in such a way that.

Every student has a homedirectory (for example) :  /home/ron

Then every student account needs a "classes" directory (for example):
/home/ron/classes

and everyone in the group instructors needs the rl permissions set for that one.

However when I don't give everyone in the instructors group at least l
permission in /etc/ron then still (even though they have rl in
/home/ron/classes) they get a "permission denied" when trying to access it.

Now the problem is that I can give the instructors the l permission in the
students homedirectory but then every directory the students create from their
homedirectory will have that instructors permission too.

Can what I want be done ?  basically give instructors permission in a
subdirectory but nowhere else ?

Same problem occurs with "public_html"  apache is running on a different system
that uses the afs client to get access to the user accounts public_html.
That means that "anyone" needs rl access to "public_html" and that only seems to
work when "anyone" has l access to that users homedirectory.

any sugestions ?

Ron
