_________________________________
create file /etc/trustee.conf using the bundled files as examples.
These are some sample lines with comments
[dev/hda1]/shared/directory/name:+writers:RWEBX:+readers:REBX  - this is the most typical situation. Group writes has write access to the entire /shared/directory/name directory, but group readers - just read only
{//samba_server/share_name}/shared/directory/name/top_secret:+security:!DRWEBX - nobody except security grop members can not use top_secret directory 



The file format is follows
[/block/device]/real_directory_path:user_or_group_name:symbols:user_or_group_name:symbols..........
[/network/share/name]/real_directory_path:user_or_group_name:symbols:user_or_group_name:symbols..........
/block/device - name of block device, minor and major are really used
[/network/share/name - name of netwok share, should be the same as in /proc/mounts
real_directory_path==path with no symlinks, first / is mandatory, last / is prohibited
If group name is used here, it should be prefixed by +
The following symbols are available:
R - Read any files
W -Write files and directories
B - Browse (like UNIX execute for directories)
E- rEad directories
X - eXecute files
U - use UNIX permissions - set by default


Modificators

C - Clear the permissions (instead of set them)
D -Deny access (instead of grant)
! The trustee object applies to all except user or group
O- One level. The trustee object applies to the surectory and files in in, not to subdirectories

____________________________

Add settrustee to any startup script
(e.g. rc.local) or use aclsfs SYSV srcipt
If your may modify the permission system, it is a good idea to add 
settrustee -f call to crontab

DEAR VALUED USERS:
I NEED YOUR HELP:

I came to the U.S. under H1B visa status (I can work for the only company, it is a good company, but it is a slavery).
I am planning to apply for a green card using NIW. In order to do so, I need to collect as many references as possible. So, I need a reference letter from you. While I was employed as a systems administrator, Trustees saved me at least several hours per week. I hope that you saved at least so and you will spend a half of an hour to write a reference. I especially need reference from U.S. goverment institutions (or their employees), public sector  (or their employees), large companies  (or their employees), universities  (or their employees). Other references (as well as references outside U.S. - I  need to prove that my name is known in different countries) are also very welcome. The only way to fight with burocracy is amount of papers - so I need plenty. I also need a references from expert witnesses that will review my resume (and other credentials)  and say that I have  very considerable skills. Please, contact me via e-mail if you have any questions regarding the reference or wish me to provide a complete template:
zavadsky@bigfoot.com
My resume is available at
www.braysystems.com/showresume.phtml?name=slava

Although  your reference should be addressed to

Vermont Service Center

DO NOT MAIL IT TO INS DIRECTLY - mail it to me and I will submit it with my application.

My Mailing address is:

Vyacheslav L. Zavadsky
884 Douglas Ave , 1st floor,
Providence, RI 02908


See a template below.

I need to show that

1) My activities serves to national interest of the U.S. (improve economy, health care, wages of U.S. workers etc). 
2)That I could serve to NI interest better that a U.S. worker with the same minimal skills
3) That not issuing a GC for me is not according to U.S. NI.

This is a template for reference. Please, modify it as much as you could. If you can, please use your company/institution letterhead.
