Protecting a single folder with password
I've been looking for this, but no luck.
I have another partiton with Fedora. I wish to use the home folder there has "deposit", but not freely, so I thought of using a password to get write permissions.
Is there anyway to do this?

I don't quite understand that part I'm sorry. Can you explain more?

I think you may want to try EncFS.

Re: Protecting a single folder with password
Back to the basics: I want to grant read/write access to a user in Arch without changing permissions on that Fedora partiton. What I don't know is if changing the permissions on Arch will change them too in Fedora.

Re: Protecting a single folder with password
Take a look at bindfs. You can use that to mount a directory in a different location with different/restricted permissions.

Re: Protecting a single folder with password
If you change the permissions of the folder, it will be changed in Fedora as well.
If the folder has write permissions for a group, then you can check the guid of the group, create a group in Arch with the same gid and you're set. If only a user has write access, you can change the uid of your user in Arch to mach the uid of the user in Fedora.
