We need to create a data management type of program that enables
movement of UNIX files to different AFS directories (e.g.,
experimental, production, etc.). This needs to be a program
because we don't want users to be able to just login and
move files around at will. In order to accomplish this task
we need to perform a setuid or similar function to give the
program privileges that the user does not have.
Is this possible within an AFS directory environment? How are
other people accomplishing this? Are there examples of programs
that provide this function?
Thanks,
