Hi,
I'm a new to openBeOS with a background in
assembler, basic, fortran, and C. I have spent
most of my time on Unix platforms, with the
support of various shells and processing tools
like SED and AWK. I am in the process of
getting an openBeOS system up on my
Intel P4 box. I have one question; does
openBeOS have Unix style file and directory
permissions control? Mainly, I'm interested
in keeping the owner of directory trees on a
given platform in complete control over
access to those structures. Unfortunately
DOS has only a parody of the classic Unix
file and directory permission design. Under DOS
any user can change the file/directory attributes
without any regard to orginal ownership. I am
aware that openBeOS runs under Windows,
hence the reason for my question. Also the
recent explosion of spyware, Xupiter and other such
legally intrusive internet agents preying on
Windows platforms is fast reaching the epidemic
stage.
Thanks,
William F. Beckett
