CentOS 5 :: Allow A User To Chmod Via FTP?

Sep 29, 2010

I've got a Centos server setup as a web server and have no problems doing anything from the command line. Some users need to connect via FTP, and need to be able to chmod files and directories as they please. I've been able to allow the users to connect to the web directory via FTP, but can't work out how to allow them the ability to chmod anything within the folder. The files were originally uploaded by root user, however I want any user connecting via FTP to be able to edit permissions as they please.

Ubuntu :: Made An Error With Chmod - Create User But Don't Allow To See The Other User's Home Folder

Jan 18, 2010

I wanted to create an user but don't allow it to see the other user's home folder so I made chmod 0750 /home/folder and it worked fine so I went ahead and decided to completely forbid access to the root folder and I had the "great" idea to make chmod 0750 /, and now I'm having problems with wine and other applications, in example I used to have a folder in this address 209.239.114.51/mmgr but now it's giving me errors and if I try to run some applications I got error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal"

Fedora :: Chmod U+x /usr/bin/lptout / Does Not Work For Not Su - User

Dec 18, 2009

I've got a simple set of c code that I use to talk to the parallel port.I use this to control some electronics. For some reason #chmod u+x /usr/bin/lptout does not work when I do an $lptout 17 (or any other value less than 256. I've run this code on other redora boxes but it does not work on a specific laptop we are testing.

Any ideas on what chmod is use to let a not su - user use./usr/bin/lptout ?

**************************************
Here are the directions I use:

$gcc lptout.c -o lptout
as su -
#cp lptout /usr/bin/
#chmod u+x /usr/bin/lptout
as normal user
$lptout 0-255
code....

Ubuntu :: Chmod File Permissions Between User And Root ?

Jan 26, 2011

I want to have two kind of users in a work machine having ubuntu 10.04,

1) He is the admin, have sudo privilages and install, do all types of work, his username is abhilash

2) A user who is normally a IT administrator, who can just install or remove softwares, but cannot access files of abhilash.

I'm trying to do this and my head is going blank, The problem where i'm stuck is, if IT admin can install softwares, then he can become sudo as sudo su, then he can view my files

So here is a small test i did, first with abhilash.

Code:

Now others and group don't have any permissions! But when IT Administrator becomes root, he can see this file

Code:

General :: CentOS Chmod Overiding Set-group-ID?

Jun 13, 2011

I'm used to setting up SGID on a directory

chmod -R g+s example and then
chmdo -R 750 example

And have the directory and all sub-directories preserve the set-group-ID. On CentOS SGID gets overridden by the second command.The OS is CentOS release 5.6 (Final)In theory, and like it says on this page, "if commands like chmod routinely cleared these bits on directories, the mechanisms would be less convenient..." and it's exactly whats happening. chmod -R 750 is effectivelly removing the SGID.How can I make g+s permanent?

CentOS 5 :: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.TdoItX: Line 7: Chmod: Command Not Found

Jul 7, 2011

I've just tried to create my first own live-cd using the instructions here: [URL] With the minimal kickstart I get a weird problem though:

...
Installing: libselinux ##################### [ 81/114]
Installing: psmisc ##################### [ 82/114]
Installing: MAKEDEV ##################### [ 83/114]

[code]....

Notice that "chmod" and "touch" are part of the package coreutils which gets installed only after these commands are used. I'm seeing a similar problem with selinux being referenced before the libselinux package is installed. I can boot the resulting image but after the kernel boots it panics because it cannot find /dev/root which might or might not have something to do with the errors above.

Debian :: Accidental Chmod 755 -R /etc/

Apr 22, 2011

I accidentally chmodded my entire /etc/ folder to 755 privileges.

It's not completely critical because my system is a home server.

My biggest problem is that MySQL is pitching a start-up message saying that I have 'unprotected key file', clamav is stating that it won't start until it has owner permissions...

I did chmod 600 /etc/passwd just in case.

"How do I see all the start-up complaints in a text file?"

Security :: Can't Su To Root, After Chmod -s /bin/su

Mar 7, 2011

When I try to issue "su -", I get "su: Authentication failure", and I'm 100% sure password I enter is ok.

I think it started to happen after I issued
chmod +s /usr/bin/screen
chmod 755 /usr/bin/screen
which I believe is unrelated to this problem, and,
chmod -s /bin/su (-s by mistake)
chmod 755 /bin/su
which most probably made the whole mess...

this is not the part of the problem I believe but here's some background why I did that... when trying to make possible for screen sessions to be started automatically on boot under non-root account, I entered something like "su - username -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS screenname ./executable-file"" in bootmisc.sh, but I was getting "must run suid root for multiuser support", so I tried to fix it, and now I can't login to root account no way.

CentOS 5 :: Specific Uid And Gid For Default User

Jul 9, 2009

Because I keep a lot of data on a Netgear ReadyNAS which can be presented as a NFS server, I would like to have the default CentOS user have a uid and gid that match those for the user that owns the main NFS share. That way I can treat it as if it were a directory that I owned on the local machine. I'm probably going to install CentOS 5.3 over again to get a totally clean system. What is the neatest way to ensure that the default user has the desired uid and gid? Or is there a better way to work with the NAS? (Right now I'm running it with CIFS shares, but these are quirky and do not behave quite like a local file system, I'm hoping that NFS would be more consistent, but previously attempts to run NFS were hampered by different uid and gid values).

CentOS 5 :: Adding User To System?

Aug 6, 2009

I've been trying to add a user to the system, so I can use it through samba to access the shares on the server. I'm using "useradd" but the command is not found... with a little search, I was able to find the command "/usr/sbin/useradd username" my question is can someone point me to a guide with basic administration task, I was checking out the wiki on Centos, but didn't find "adding user"; I know Centos has a gui for this, but I would like to stick to shell commands. By the way why some commands are only access through /sbin and others /usr/sbin. I know this probably has to do with your path, but how can I fix this so I don't have to type the whole path every time.
