3 This page contains some examples on how to solve common problems with AFS.
7 == Making a directory private ==
9 If you wish to make a directory within your $HOME completely private so that only you can list, read, and write, do this:
13 fs setacl -clear ~/private <USERNAME> all
16 Note that the {{{-clear}}} option causes any previously set ACLs to be removed. The {{{<USERNAME> all}}} part sets full access to the directory's contents to the specified user. Therefore, if you have a directory in your home directory that you wish to make only accessible to you (such as {{{~/.ssh}}} or {{{~/documents}}}), use:
18 {{{fs setacl -clear ~/<DIRECTORY> <USERNAME> all}}}.
20 == Serving a website with added privacy ==
22 If you use domtool to set up your domain, there is a way to allow {{{system:anyuser}}} only to list the contents of public_html without breaking your website(s). By default ACLs '''R''' and '''L''' are given. Change that in this way:
25 fs setacl ~/public_html system:anyuser l
28 Now, add all permissions for the ''USER.daemon'' principle:
31 fs setacl ~/public_html <USERNAME>.daemon all
34 Be aware that this only works if you use your own domain -- if you use {{{http://deleuze.hcoop.net/~USERNAME}}} to serve your files, then you '''must''' be sure that {{{system:anyuser}}} can read {{{~/public_html}}} and its subdirectories.
36 == Setting the rights permissions on your ~/.domtool directory ==
39 fs setacl ~/.domtool domtool read
