I keep our photos in /home/shared/camera. This folder and files are
owned by root:shared and the permissions are rwxr-x--- so that none of
us can accidentally delete photos.
F-spot has an import function which happens when the camera memory card
is automounted, but it fails due to the restricted permissions.
It seems to me that my options are:
1. ACLs - complicated
2. Run a different import script as root, using setuid (?)
3. Set the sticky bit (?) and have a cron job reset the permissions
Which is these is the best/easiest way? Is there a better one?
Thanks
Richard
