7 There are a few options I can think of offhand:
8 1. Everything goes straight into /media or media-based subdirs,
9 read-only by some media group
10 2. Same, except also writable. This allows users to physically share
11 music rather than allowing the sysadmin to decide what's shared.
12 3. A combination of the two, something like /media/dropbox/ that's
13 writable.
14 4. Subdirs in /media per-user, each rw by user, ro by group. This sucks
15 to dig through looking for things but keeps permissions well.
