- data files : rwed r r
- executables: rwed re re
- The you're sure that nobody can execute at least some proggies.
- Well, protect all important files (passwd, groups, etc.) for root use only!

- MultiUser uses .group file to determine which files are available (group

- Well, I'll try.
- If you haven't formatted you partition with MultiUser, then just take
- HDToolsBox and change filesystem back to previous one (on top of which you've
- installed MultiUser). Then you'll have normal FS partition, change everything
- you need, and then change filesystem to MultiUser again. At least worked for me.
-
- But if you have formatted you disk with MuFS, then I think there is only one
- to change protection bits. Just take good disk editor, and change them manually
- Just find HeaderBlock of .group file, change bits, correct checksum, save ...
- Protection bits are at longword $50 and go as folows:
- bits 0 - 3 rwed (owner)
- bits 8 -11 rwed (group)
- bits 12-15 rwed (other)
- bit 31 u
-
- I hope I remember it in the way it goes :)
- Just set every rwed bit and then even nobody will have access to file.
- Don't forget to correct checksum !
