Hello I am seeking a simple solution to running a list of “chown -R” <mydir>" commands in script.sh
It takes a long time to sequentially execute all of these chown commands recursively because the directories have so many files. I want to be able to tackle the root level directories in parallel to speed things up. I imagine there must be a simple way to do this while keeping the list of commands in a single file. xargs and some of the other things I saw online looked like bad fits or would be over engineering this problem.
What you proposed with sgid sounds like it might be what i need. All of the users are controlled my me, it’s just when they connect to the smb share of the main system from other devices, i figured it was good security to use an account that is separate from my main account on the system, so they can’t access the entire system or execute sudo commands
If this is specific to a Samba server, it looks like you can set it to use whatever uid/gid you want.
