Hi all,

I am need of some help with permissions.  Essentially I have some perl
scripts that create a new folder everytime a new user is created.

That script sets the permissions, but am confused as to which are the
"correct" permissions to set....right now I am just using 777 since this is
a prototype, but i just hate that, and not knowing to boot.

what  I would like is for every new user created, create the following
structure in an existing folders called USERS



USERS -->  NEWUSER
                            |
                            | -------------->  TEMP
                            |
                             -------------->  APPROVED

The script would create NEWUSER, and within it create TEMP and APPROVED

and I would like the rights to be so that anyone can write to TEMP but not
read
and anyone can READ from APPROVED but not write.

Would appreciate any links, clue etc.

Many thanks ahead of time,

Daniel
