Debian :: Group A Member Of Another Group?
Feb 8, 2011I make a group a member of another group?
I am running Samba and want to include all groups as members of the Domain Users group so that I don't need to add this for every user?

General :: Group Member Not Able To Write To Group's File?
Feb 8, 2011I have a group (GROUP) with a number of users. I recently added a new user (NEW). NEW is able to read but not write group files, whereas all the other users in the group can read and write to the group files. The permissions for the group files indicate that all members of group should have write permission -rwxrwxr-x
/etc/group indicates that NEW is a member of GROUP
...
GROUP:x:501:GROUP,OLD,OLD2,OLD3,OLD4,....,NEW
[code]....
Don't know if it matters, but both OLD and NEW write to the GROUP files over an internet connection. why NEW can't write to GROUP files? Is there a maximum number of members in a group that I might have exceeded?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Member Of Group Root / But Root Group Permissions Don't Apply?
Apr 20, 2010A bit of an oddity that I've recently run into with my storage folder in my system; it's a newly installed drive that I've set to mount at /storage. When I first tried to use it, programs that I used that attempted to write to it tossed Access Denied errors at me in their own way. Checking the permissions (at the Terminal, ls -l / | grep storage) showed that /storage was set to 'rwxrwxr--'--Owner and Group were given full read/write/execute, but Others could only read. However, my logon to my system is a member of group root. Why, then, with the above bits set, would I not be able to write to it? Changing Others permissions to rwx (and presumably rw would have worked out for me since I don't leave anything executable there) allowed me to write to it, but I don't understand why that would have been necessary. So far as I'm aware, the prior drive that was in my system--mounted at the same location--did not need this treatment.

Oct 29, 2010I'm having an odd problem (although I'm probably missing something obvious to a non-semi-newbie):I have a directory used for samba shares which is owned by user fred, a system user which the windows clients on my network authenticate with to access the shares. I, roger, want to access the directories without having to put my 'sudo boots' on every time, so I made the directory group users and added roger to that group, and changed the file/folder modes from 0755 to 0775.However I still do not have write permissions inside the directory; I still seem to be considered 'other' and hence only have read and execute.

Jul 7, 2011I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (guest) on Windows 7 (host) with the guest additions installed. I have an auto-mount folder that maps to my D: drive on the host which I can access using sudo ls /media/sf_D_DRIVE - however, even when my user (ross) is a member of the vboxsf group I get a permission denied error when attempting to explore it. I have restarted since adding my user to the vboxsf group.
This should work because I am a member of the group (which has rwx rights), so why doesn't it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Encrypt A Volume Group - By Using RAID Under
Jul 10, 2010After months of using Lenny & Lucid Lynx without issues, I come back to the good existential questions.
I'd like a completely encrypted disk (/ and swap) in addition to the Xp partitions (not that safe but I'll switch completely to Linux once I have solved everything.
1. I create an ext4 partition for /boot
2. One other (/dev/sda7) that I set for encryption,
3. On top of that, I create a PV for lvm2,
4. I add to a VG,
5. I create / & swap in the VG.
However, if I add a hard drive, I will have to encrypt the main partition, add it to the VG & then expand /. So I'll need 2 passwords at boot time to decrypt.
So I'd like to:
-Encrypt the VG directly, it would solve everything but no device file appears for the VG, only the PV and th LV.
-After hours of search, I couldn't find a solution for a single password...
Maybe a hope with a filesystem like btrfs in the future providing encryption, but I'll still have to create a swap partition out of it (or create a file for swap but no hibernation possible).

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Volume Group Not Found After Kernel Upgrade
Aug 7, 2015This is a problem about linux-kernel-3.16-0-4-amd64 and LVM, I guess. I decided to write this here in case other users who installed their debian system with encryption enabled experience this problem with a recent kernel upgrade.
I use debian jessie. Today I gave the command:
Code: Select allapt-get upgrade
There was a linux-kernel upgrade to 3.16-0-4-amd64 among other packages to be upgraded.
After this upgrade my computer cannot boot anymore.
I get following error:
Code: Select allVolume group "ert-debian-vg" not found.
Skipping volume group "ert-debian-vg"

Please unlock disk sd3_crypt:
And it does not accept my password.
I used rescue environment on debian jessie netinst iso and decrypted the partition and took a backup of my /home. Now I have not much to lose if I reinstall my system but I still want to fix this problem if possible.
I have reinstalled the kernel using debian jessie netinst rescue iso but nothing changed.
I have Timeshift snapshots located at /home/Timeshift but timeshift --rescue command cannot find a backup device, it sees the device as crypted. If I could restore a snapshot it would be very easy to go back in time and get rid of this problem. It would not be a real solution, however.
There is not any old kernel option in GRUB menu. So removing the latest one does not seem as an option.

Debian Multimedia :: Require Users To Be In A Group For HAL Automount?
Nov 3, 2010I'm using squeeze. hal allows any user (at least, ones logged into the console) the ability to automount any removable drive that is plugged in. I want to restrict the ability to automount to users who are in the group that owns the device node for the drive (some distributions use the "plugdev" group for this.) I know I can turn off automount individually in each desktop, but seeing as hal is the thing that runs as root and is actually doing the mounting, it seems to make the most sense to change the setting in hal.
