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....

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"

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.

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:

For some reason I can't connect my JVC MiniDv camera in kdenlive (or kino) until I run this script in terminal
Code:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/raw1394
but it needs re-entering each time I reboot my PC.
How can I make this access permanent?

or at least, it doesn't seem to. for some reason, my .txt, .doc, .rtf, and other files that shouldn't have the execute bit set often seem to (i think i know why, but that's not important). it's my understanding that this command should, for example, remove the execute bit from all .rtf files recursively (that is, from .rtf files in subdirectories too):
Code: chmod -R 666 *.rtf i've read help and the man page for chmod, and it seems that -R switch should make chmod work recursively, but it only alters files in the present working directory. could someone point out what i'm doing wrong?

I'm having problems with chmodding a NTFS directory. I'm having problems accessing the directory through samba because of some missing permissions, but when I try to set them, nothing happens.This is what I do:
Code:
root@proliant:/media# ls -l
total 32[code].....
I also tried to replace 'hdd.1' with '/media/hdd.1' and 'hdd.1/'

If sound on F12 works as root user but not as a normal user, try this simple fix! I've been struggling to get sound working as a normal (non-root) user since F10. Until now I've had to run X as root user to get any sound out of my machine.
Sound actually works OK now for me as a normal user. Here's how I fixed the problem.
First I uninstalled pulseaudio with:# yum remove pulseaudio Then reboot back to the hardware. You might want to keep pulseaudio, but I have no need for it. PA wasn't running on my system anyway.
Running X as root user, I did the following: As a test I opened a root shell and typed the following:
[root]# alsamixer c0 That started the alsamixer OK, and all the controls were accessible.

I try to shutdown a box running Fedora (fc12, all updates applied) remotely. From various threats I selected the following way that suits best to my needs: I edited the entry for shutdown in /etc/passwd:
shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h +1
Logging in from a tty with shutdown gives the desired result: The computer does the shutdown. Then I tried the same using sshd and plink:
plink -t -l shutdown -pw xxx 10.0.0.123
As a result I get:
Using username "shutdown".
Access denied
Access denied
shutdown@10.0.0.123's password:
The /var/log/secure shows the following entry:
Oct 2 00:40:46 rotgschirr sshd[6841]: User shutdown not allowed because shell /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h +1 does not exist
Oct 2 00:40:46 rotgschirr sshd[6846]: input_userauth_request: invalid user shutdown
Oct 2 00:40:46 rotgschirr unix_chkpwd[6847]: password check failed for user (shutdown)
Oct 2 00:40:46 rotgschirr sshd[6841]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=rotgschirr.totes-gebirge user=shutdown
Oct 2 00:40:48 rotgschirr sshd[6841]: Failed password for invalid user shutdown from 10.0.0.123 port 37195 ssh2
Oct 2 00:40:50 rotgschirr sshd[6846]: Connection closed by 10.0.0.123
Somehow when using ssh the shell /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h +1 cannot be found.

I've tried to ssh in as the root user w/o a password (RSA keys) but I've had no luck as the root user. I've tried the exact same commands with Debian 5 and Centos 5.5, without a problem. Fedora 13 and 14 won't work! I can only log in w/o a password as a normal user, never as the root user! It always asks for the password if I try as root. I've even tried copying Debian's and Centos's sshd_config file and restarting sshd, but it still won't work.
Code:
mkdir ~/.ssh ~username/.ssh
chmod 0700 ~/.ssh ~username/.ssh
echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB............Jw8V03loeZ username@thehostname" > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

I have a separate data partition on my F12 box with one dir for my children and subdirs for each of them. because they had no rw- rights and because they sometimes use one of the other logins to work for school I changed the permissions for their dir so that anyone has access. I used
Code:
# chmod -R 666 [their directory]
after that Nautilus displayed an empty folder even with 'show hidden files' on.however, with
Code:
ls -lh
on the dir and subdirs all the files seem to be present (luckily).
1. what did I wrong?
2. how do I get the files back using Nautilus?

I'm trying to make a particular file accessible on my computer ( /dev/uinput ) without having to use sudo or su - I've set up a wiimote to act as a remote for my media player, and it requires access to that file. When I use chmod, chgrp or chown to change the file's settings, it enables access to the file - however, when I reboot my PC, the settings get reset, and I have to change the access rights when I first use it again. I've tried using the following commands to make the changes (substituting my username/groupname as user and group below), as root:

The only user that can make the sound card work on a F10 x86_64 system is root. For non root users, I am not seeing any error messages when a app tries to use/access the sound card, just nothing plays. As I said, for root everything works as expected. I am sure this is a permission/setup issue, but I have no idea where to start.

Chmod has no option to skip lowering execute bit on directories? Now that's something I would consider a serious bug.

I want to give a mounted folder /mnt/folder access so that 'root and the group test have read write access' and all other users have read access I understand most of the chmod command, the users groups world etc but where in the 'command' do you specify which 'group' or 'user' you are giving the read / write access to? in all the tutorials i've seen no where do you specify the actual group or user.

I have a few multi-user servers in an academic laboratory. I am having a problem with some users maxing out the available RAM, causing such sever slowdowns the machine essentially crashes. My servers are Dell Power Edge's running Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition (Not my choice). I would like to set a maximum limit on the amount of ram a user can utilize. This morning I experimented with setting limits via /etc/security/limits.conf and using ulimit. Neither of them prevented my test program, a simple infinite loop of mallocs, from crashing the server.

I'm having a pretty small problem, but a pretty weird one.I created an account on my desktop for my 4-year old. But my regular USB mouse was a bit large for his little hands. So, I grabbed the little mouse I use for my laptop for him to use.Problem is, the small USB mouse does not work in his account. It can move the pointer, but clicking has unpredictable results.The small USB mouse works fine in my account. My regular mouse worked fine in his account, just like it works for everyone else.His user account clearly does not have some privilege that is needed for the small mouse to work, but is not needed for the other mouse.
